An epic night of some of the best film scores of all time is coming to "The Fred" this summer.

The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra has just announced the return of the hit cinematic program Star Wars and More: The Music of John Williams,  coming to the Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater "The Fred" in Peachtree City on Saturday, June 18, 2022.

About Star Wars and More: The Music of John Williams

This family-friendly symphonic event will feature the popular works from legendary composer and conductor John Williams. The concert will highlight his beloved film scores from Star Wars,  Harry Potter,  Jaws and more, all performed live by the ASO, conducted by ASO Associate Conductor and Music Director of the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra Jerry Hou.

In past years, the ASO has showcased Star Wars and More: The Music of John Williams at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, delighting thousands of fans, both young and old. This year, the ASO will branch out and bring this popular film score program to The Fred in Peachtree City. 

ASO Recommends...

"To experience the true power of the force, attendees are encouraged to dress up in their favorite Star Wars (or similarly themed) attire or costume. After all, there’s no better way to enjoy the show when 'The Imperial March' starts playing on stage!"
