Shortly after his 95th birthday, we pay tribute to the film music of John Williams. FromStar WarstoE.T.: this morning’s concert, featuring an orchestra and choir, puts Williams in the spotlight. French conductor Stéphane Denève, who leads this tribute, has worked with Williams, knows him well, and is a great connoisseur and admirer of his repertoire. Nearly half a century of film music comes to life!
Please note: This concert features music from well-known films; the films themselves will not be shown.
John Williams Turns 95
“Without John Williams, bicycles wouldn’t really fly, just like brooms in Quidditch matches and men in red capes. There would be no power, and there would be no dinosaurs roaming the earth,’ said Steven Spielberg. Williams and Spielberg collaborated with great success on various film productions, but Williams was and is—he will turn 95 in February 2027—much more than Spielberg’s musical muse. As one of the ‘founding fathers’ of film music, his influence cannot be underestimated.
