Celebrating The Movie Maestro!

The work of legendary film composer John Williams forms the basis of the LA Phil's beloved Maestro Of The Movies event, a celebration of greatest hits from throughout his unmatched career. Williams' iconic soundtracks are inseparable from many of Hollywood's greatest and most loved movies, from Star Wars to E.T., Indiana Jones to Jaws. Conducted by David Newman, don't miss your chance to experience William's greatest ever scores in the unmatchable atmosphere of the Hollywood Bowl!

Now in his nineties, Williams' work goes far beyond simply being the musical backdrop to these movies; in some sense the entire experience of generations of audiences was defined by his grand compositions. Everyone in an instant can recognize the triumphant Star Wars main theme, become lost in awe to the unmistakable melody of the Jurassic Park theme, or be sent into a state of tension by the Jaws theme.
