And the magic of his movies comes to life on stage when the Miami Valley Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of conductor Awadagin Pratt, delivers a dazzling concert dedicated to this cinematic soundtrack superstar, overflowing with excerpts from some of the biggest blockbusters of the big screen, including Raiders of the Lost Ark, Harry Potter, Superman, and, of course, Star Wars, and more!
