The Force is with these three young pianists

From the Top, the radio program that celebrates the stories, talents, and character of classically-trained young musicians, is embracing the enthusiasm ahead of the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

True to From the Top’s format, the show found three talented youngsters — Maxine Park, Katherine Lui and Michael Karshis — dressed them up as Yoda, Princess Leia and Darth Vader, respectively, and set them to play John Williams’s music from the Star Wars films.

The video of this piano six hands performance is directed and edited by Dillon Buss.

From the Top airs Sundays at noon on Classical MPR.

And if you’d like to hear more Star Wars music, the YourClassical Movies Stream will feature John Williams’s scores all day on Friday, Dec. 18.
