A JOHN WILLIAMS CELEBRATION
OPENING GALA CONCERT FROM THE WALT DISNEY CONCERT HALL
GUSTAVO DUDAMEL | LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC | ITZHAK PERLMAN
John Williams is one of the most popular and successful
American orchestral composers of the modern age. With
his instantly recognizable scores, Williams has redefined
the art of film music. He makes audiences cheer, brings
them to tears and keeps them on the edge of their seats.
Best known for his film scores and ceremonial music
(such as the 1984 Olympic Fanfare), Williams has composed the music for nearly eighty films in a career spanning over six decades. John Williams is the winner of 5
Academy Awards, 17 Grammys, 3 Golden Globes, 2 Emmys and 5 BAFTA Awards.
This celebration includes some of John Williams’ beloved movie hits performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel.
The LA Phil’s opening concert features Itzhak Perlman
with a very special musical performance of pieces from
Schindler’s List as well as the Cadenza and variations
form Fiddler on the Roof. Jazz-elements will fill the air
during Escapades from Catch Me if You Can, and may the
force be with you during the iconic tunes from Star Wars.
