Hello, those who know me know I have been touting this group down in San Pedro who do film music throughout their season. And they have become damn good at it! Steven Allen Fox has combined traditional film music presentations with a mix of the offbeat that usually isn't presented at such concerts.
In the past composers like Alan Silvestri, Christopher Young, Laura Karpman, John Ottman, Sam Spence, Richard Sherman, Stu Phillips, Irving Gertz, William Stromberg, Bear McCreary, Austin Wintory, Christopher Lennertz, Russell Brower, Wataru Hokoyama, Timothy Michael Wynn, Gerard Marino and many others have come down to have their wares presented by this world class orchestra. Here is their description of their next concert which always seems to undervalue what the concert ends up being:
Travel to a galaxy far, far away with Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Yoda and Han Solo as the GSPO performs our favorite selections by legendary composer John Williams' iconic Star Wars scores, including "Star Wars: Main Title," "Imperial March," "Princess Leia's Theme," and the "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones" tragic love theme, "Across The Stars."
In 2005 GSPO performed the North American concert premiere of John Williams' "Battle of the Heroes" from "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith." The family friendly orchestra continues to introduce audiences to new repertoire by presenting music inspired by the Star Wars Universe - books, video games, fan films and spin-off films such as "Star Wars: The Clone Wars." Experience music from the videogames "Star Wars: The Old Republic" and "Star Wars Kinect" and fan film "Ryan vs. Dorkman" by Kyle Newmaster and Gordy Haab. The 2013 celebration of the 35th Anniversary of the Varese Sarabande record label continues with the musical score composed by Joel McNeely and released on Varese Sarabande for the 1996 novel "Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire," written by Steve Perry.
So come down, at least once, to see and hear what other's have been praising to the skies.
Oh and I have been told to update my list of composers who have come to this little picture palace by LA harbor with the GSPO:
Hans Zimmer, John Debney, Danny Elfman, Michael Giacchino, Cliff Eidelman, Don Davis, Mark Isham, Joel McNeely, Diego Navarro, John Powell, Brian Tyler and a few others.

I have a WONDERFUL excuse on why I won't be going...I'll be in my car driving out to California to live forever and will be somewhere in Missouri or Kansas by the start of the concert. Those who can go SHOULD go. A night of Star Wars, doesn't get any better then that!
