Star Wars: In Concert
Worldwide concert tour comes to North Charleston Coliseum
Provided
The editors at Lucasfilm have created original film montages to accompany each of the musical selections, says John Williams, composer of epic Star Wars scores. "And in the process, I believe that a singular and unique Star Wars experience has been born."
Star Wars: In Concert is a unique multi-media event featuring music from all six of John Williams’ epic Star Wars scores.
As part of its worldwide tour, it will play Friday, Nov. 6, at 8 p.m. at the North Charleston Coliseum.
Narrated live by Anthony Daniels (the actor who portrayed C-3PO in all six films), the production features a full symphony orchestra and choir, accompanied by specially edited footage from the films displayed on a three-story-tall, high-definition LED super-screen – one of the largest ever put on tour.
The live music and film elements are synchronized in order to create a full multi-media, one-of-kind Star Wars experience.
“We’ve taken the key themes from the music and cut together all the images that fit with each theme, so you can really get a sense of how the music played into the images,” says George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars Saga. “The whole soundtrack is a testament to John Williams’ creativity and his extraordinary ability to enhance the emotional aspects of the films.”
Tickets for Star Wars In Concert are available at 1-800-745-3000 and www.ticketmaster....>
Accompanying the concert is an exclusive exhibit of Star Wars costumes, props, artifacts, production artwork and specially created behind-the-scenes videos from the Lucasfilm Archives.
The exhibit features many classic fan favorite artifacts, as well as several new and never-before-seen items, including full costumes for Jedi Masters Kit Fisto and Plo Koon.
Many of these pieces are leaving Skywalker Ranch for the first time.
For the first time, pages from John Williams' original hand-written sheet music for Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace will be exhibited for the public.
Also on display will be various never-before-seen props from the films, including blasters and helmets from Coruscant, Tatooine and other iconic Star Wars locations.
“This event has been crafted to present Star Wars from many points of view; for the first time, the full dramatic sweep of Williams’ iconic scores can be heard performed live in one evening,” says Another Planet Touring Producer Spencer Churchill. “The show is a new way of experiencing the epic scope of the saga.”
