Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Disney
Words by Kaya Martin

The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will accompany showings of Disney favourites Frozen and Star Wars: A New Hope with live, in-concert musical performances.

2023 is a special year for the Walt Disney Company. You only turn 100 once! To mark the big milestone, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is hosting a series of events that combine the spirit of live music with two of the most iconic Disney films – Star Wars: A New Hope, and Frozen.

The orchestra will celebrate the 45th anniversary of the original Star Wars: A New Hope with an in-concert event on January 28th. Composer and film fan Nicholas Buc will guide the orchestra through John Williams’ Oscar-award winning score. The live music adds unmatched drama and energy to George Lucas’ iconic film – it’s the cult classic like you’ve never seen it before.
