Los Angeles Philharmonic - Maestro of the Movies with John Williams

movie maestro leads the la phil

Legendary film composer John Williams joins the Los Angeles Philharmonic for the annual 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.

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. Don't miss this chance to see arguably the most important composer of our generation.
