This year's annual summer concert on June 8th (21.05 CEST (UTC+2h)) by the Wiener Philharmoniker (link to the press release), conductor Franz Welser-Möst will include three pieces of John William's Star Wars soundtrack. The reason: the concert's theme is Moon - Planet - Stars. :-)

The complete program:
John Williams: Star Wars Main Title from "Star Wars"
Josef Strauss: Music of the Spheres, Waltz, op. 235
Franz Liszt: Piano Concerto No. 2, A major
John Williams: Princess Leia's Theme from "Star Wars"
John Williams: Imperial March from "Star Wars"
Joseph Lanner: Evening Stars, Waltz, op. 180
Otto Nicolai: Moonshine Chorus from "The Merry Wives of Windsor"
Gustav Holst: Mars from "The Planets"

Best part: it's a free concert, about 60 TV stations worldwide will broadcast it; it may be available live on the internet too.
