Strings Music Festival: John Williams Film and Olympics Music

"Brass and percussion bring the cinematic world of John Williams to the Strings Pavilion stage, conducted by Brett Mitchell. From Star Wars to Jurassic Park, John Williams’ enduring and unrivaled domination of film scoring lies in the direct, clear, and universal way he has of expressing emotion. Drawing on Classical and Romantic models, Williams’s music serves cinematic drama while adding no small amount of his own imagination to any story. Many of his most familiar and hummable themes, so deeply ingrained in our lives, come to life in this concert featuring resounding brass and percussion."
