The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera presents Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in Concert featuring composer John Williams’ GRAMMY®-winning score performed live to the film. Fans will experience the scope and grandeur of this beloved film in a live symphonic concert experience led by conductor Ben Palmer on November 7 & 8, 2026 at Memorial Auditorium.

After the destruction of the Death Star, Imperial forces continue to pursue the Rebels. After the Rebellion’s defeat on the ice planet Hoth, Luke journeys to the planet Dagobah to train with Jedi Master Yoda, who has lived in hiding since the fall of the Republic. In an attempt to convert Luke to the dark side, Darth Vader lures young Skywalker into a trap in the Cloud City of Bespin.
