Film Music of John Williams

OVERVIEW

Celebrate the beloved John Williams—generally considered to be the greatest film composer in history—with this program brilliantly curated and conducted by Creative Partner David Robertson. While much of Williams’ work is composed for the screen, the writing is so masterful that these pieces stand on their own in the canon of great orchestral music.

Spanning five decades, relive your favorite cinematic scores, including the heroic themes of Indiana Jones, the epic sounds of Star Wars, and more. Delight in the whimsical melodies of E.T. and revisit the wizarding world of Harry Potter, embracing the nostalgia of this unforgettable music that audiences love to hear and musicians love to play.
