Star Wars concert Tokyo — Galactic Symphony orchestra performance at MUZA Kawasaki

Star Wars Concert Tokyo: Galactic Symphony Plays Kawasaki This Week

Aug 28, 2026 at 6:00pm ~ Aug 28, 2026 at 9:00pm

A full symphony orchestra and choir are playing the music of Star Wars live this Friday, August 28, just outside central Tokyo. Galactic Symphony’s one-night show at MUZA Kawasaki Symphony Hall runs through John Williams’ best-known themes and closes with something that has never happened on stage before: the world premiere live performance of the score from Star Wars: Visions — The Ninth Jedi.

Doors open at 6pm for a 7pm start. Tickets are on sale now on Live Pocket.

Star Wars Concert Program: From the Main Title to Duel of the Fates

The orchestra and choir run through the saga’s signature pieces: the Main Title, The Imperial March, Yoda’s Theme, Duel of the Fates and Battle of the Heroes, plus music from The Mandalorian and Grogu. It’s a set list built for an audience that can hum along before the first bar finishes.

The Ninth Jedi World Premiere: Kamiyama, Toda and Jinnouchi on Stage

The night closes with something new: the world premiere live performance of the score from Star Wars: Visions — The Ninth Jedi. Before it plays, director Kenji Kamiyama and composers Nobuko Toda and Kazuma Jinnouchi join a talk session on how the film came together in Japan, from animation to score. Kamiyama directed Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Blade Runner: Black Lotus; Toda and Jinnouchi have scored Metal Gear Solid, Halo and Ultraman.

Cosplay is encouraged, gear is encouraged, and so is cheering through the Imperial March.
May the Force—and the orchestra—be with you.
