May the Fourth Be With You, but make it orchestral ✨🎻

Yesterday, the Durham Medical Orchestra brought the galaxy to the stage—led by Duke Music Chair (and DUWS/DMO conductor) embracing the dark side in the best possible way. A little drama, a lot of talent, and just enough lightsaber energy to keep things interesting.

The Force was definitely with us. ❤️
