Concert Information

Alex Amsel, Guest conductor
Gary Cogill, Journalist and film critic


This star-studded concert will be full of music from your favorite sci-fi films. Emmy Award-winning journalist and film critic Gary Cogill returns to the WSO stage to share film insights behind the music. Guest conductor Alex Amsel is an orchestral and operatic conductor as well as a music educator for students of all ages. He has worked with the Baltimore Symphony, Fort Worth Symphony, and Houston Grand Opera.

With Waco being one of the few places in the country in the path of totality during the solar eclipse on April 8, this concert will generate excitement the day before. Hear music ranging from Star Wars and Star Trek to Interstellar and other sun and space-related pop music. Other special guests may be announced. All are welcome to come dressed as your favorite sci-fi character!

Selections from Star Wars, Star Trek, Interstellar, Holst's The Planets, and more
