About the Performance
From Star Wars to Jurassic Park, Harry Potter to Jaws, and Indiana Jones to Home Alone, no composer has shaped the sound of the movies quite like John Williams.
With more Academy Award nominations than any other living person, John Williams’ music makes for an extraordinary live experience.
Where better to celebrate the best of Williams’ career than at the Symphony? In a special concert event, the XXXX Orchestra, Art of the Score podcasters Andrew Pogson, Dan Golding, and conductor Nicholas Buc will take you into the musical world of Williams in a love letter to the great Maestro.
