From StarWars.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

John Williams is currently hard at work composing the score for\u00a0Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em>, which will be recorded in Los Angeles. For the recording of the score, Williams will work with members of the superb freelance orchestra with which he\u2019s recorded numerous film scores over the years. The music will be recorded over several months while working in tandem with the film\u2019s editorial and special effects teams on the West Coast.<\/p>\n

While previous films in the saga were scored at Abbey Road with the celebrated London Symphony Orchestra, this will be the first time a\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>\u00a0score has been recorded in the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had the privilege of working with the very best musicians in both the U.K. and the U.S.,\u201d says Williams. \u201cThe London Symphony Orchestra has consistently performed with great artistry on all six of the prior films in the Star Wars<\/em> saga, and I will be forever grateful for their commitment and dedication.\u00a0 Equally, it has been my honor to have worked with my brilliant colleagues in Los Angeles, and always appreciate the invaluable contribution they\u2019ve made to my scores and to those of other composers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em>\u00a0is scheduled for release on December 18, 2015.<\/p>\n
