20 Aug 2026 20:30h, Schloss Haldenstein, Haldenstein, Switzerland concert Star Wars & Planeten — Festspiele im Schloss
An evening that reveals the extraordinary musical connections between two masterworks separated by 60 years.
Program
- John Williams — Star Wars Suite (1997), including the Imperial March
- Gustav Holst — Die Planeten, op. 32 (1918), complete seven-movement suite
Star Wars fans will be amazed to discover how closely Williams drew on Holst: the Imperial March echoes Holst’s Mars, while Jupiter served as a template for the heroic themes of Superman, Gladiator, and Star Wars alike.
- Philippe Bach — Conductor
- Patrick Hunka — Scenography, lighting & video
- Kammerphilharmonie Graubünden
