Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra: Star Wars - Return of the Jedi In Concert

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra: Star Wars - Return of the Jedi In Concert at Hilbert Circle Theatre

Return of the Jedi is already cinematic; a live orchestra makes John Williams’s score part of the room. Others live in your chest. When Return of the Jedi hits the screen above the Hilbert Circle Theatre stage in Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra will perform the score live, and a film you know by heart becomes something you can feel in the room.

That is the real draw here. This is a film screening paired with a concert, not a stage show or a remake. The story plays out on screen, the way you remember it, while the orchestra brings John Williams' music to life beneath it. The final chapter of the original Star Wars trilogy has always depended on its music. Now you can see the orchestra behind it, with the film and the live sound moving together as one shared experience.

Jack Everly is the announced conductor, and the presentation is licensed by Disney Concerts. It's a good reason to bring a longtime fan, a friend who grew up with these films, or someone you'd love to share them with. Some memories deserve a night out, and this one arrives April 30, 2027, at 7:00 PM. If the idea of hearing this score performed live while the film unfolds above the stage makes you smile, grab your seats for Return of the Jedi in Concert and make this film night one you'll remember.
