Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: John Williams – Sounds of Cinema
October 19 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$88 – $150From Star Wars to Jurassic Park, Harry Potter to E.T, and Indiana Jones to Superman, no composer has shaped the sound of cinema quite like John Williams.
With more Academy Award nominations than any other living person, John Williams’ music makes for an extraordinary live experience. In a specially-conceived new concert event, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, along with Art of the Score podcasters Andrew Pogson, Dan Golding, and conductor Nicholas Buc, return to guide you through the musical world of Williams in a love letter to the great Maestro.
