TV networks used to broadcast classical music concerts. Here, Leonard Bernstein, with a towel flung over his shoulder, puts the New York Philharmonic through a brisk rehearsal on November 25, 1958, for the orchestra's first appearance of the season on the CBS-TV network.

Luke and Mara (Mara Jade's Theme), conducted by composer Arturo Díez Boscovich, performed live by The Malaga Philharmonic Orchestra at the MOSMA Festival in Spain in 2017. The new compositions were written and performed to accompany Timothy Zahn's classic novel, Heir to the Empire. Speaking about this beautiful piece, composer Boscovich said, "I have composed the love theme for Luke Skywalker, who falls in love in this book -- don't think that Luke is as innocent as the Virgin Mary! He is also passionate man, and inside this chaos there is a woman, who is related with the Empire, she was a student of the Emperor. The love theme... this is the love theme between them; it is actually the theme for her, her leitmotif. This girl came from the dark side and she hates Luke Skywalker -- you know, it's like the classic story between Catwoman and Batman, these femme fatales who want to destroy these men. In this situation, we have the same thing; it is passionate love but also it has some real dark moments."

Nobody: Roger: I took a girl there once and she got her breasts out in the…in the middle of the meal. […] yeah right in the middle of the restaurant in the middle of the meal—sorry that’s just a little aside there—
