About the Performance
In 2022 the MSO celebrates the 90th birthday of arguably the greatest film composer alive today – John Williams!
Join your MSO, along with conductor Nicholas Buc, the MSO Chorus, special guest soloists and the hosts of the Art of the Score podcast, as they guide you through his career, his iconic themes and melodies, and ultimately present their love letter to the great Maestro.
Featuring scores from Superman, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Home Alone, Harry Potter, Schindler’s List, Hook and Star Wars along with many more surprises.
"Already a terrific idea for a symphony orchestra concert, the celebration of the 90th birthday of John Williams is theatrically enhanced by engaging, knowledgeable hosts delving into the music and sharing insights into the movies themselves." - Simon Parris, Man in Chair
