Augusta Symphony winds up its 70th anniversary season with special concerts in April and May. On Thursday, April 24 and Friday, April 25, the symphony presents Star Wars: A New Hope. While the orchestra plays the film soundtrack by John Williams, the movie will be shown on screen.

The symphony concludes the season on Saturday, May 3 with Celebrating Augusta. This concert highlights the history of the orchestra, the Miller Theater and the region in a program that includes Khachaturian’s Suite from Spartacus, Still’s Symphony No. 1, Lalo’s Cello Concerto and Respighi’s Pines of Rome.

To celebrate Augusta and the CSRA, Still’s Symphony No. 1 includes videography by photochoreographer Nicholas Bardonnay. The guest artist choreographs his pictures to music, and featured photos have been procured from the Augusta Museum of History archives and from people in the community.

The program includes another guest artist, 2024 Youth Concerto Competition winner Neel Krishnan, as well. All of the shows begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Miller Theater.
