The Concert
Join us for the ultimate concert celebration of the man who truly has composed the soundtrack to our lives, John Williams.
Hear selections from his most iconic scores, including Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, Superman, Lincoln and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
Featuring more than 50 minutes of specially edited scenes and clips from John Williams’ best-loved films, you can now experience these scores performed live to picture by the London Symphony Orchestra, and conducted by Anthony Gabriele. The concert will also be presented by radio broadcaster Edith Bowman. This loving tribute to the greatest musical storyteller of our time is a feast for the eyes and the ears.
Without John Williams, bicycles do not fly, nor do brooms in Quidditch matches or heroes in red capes. Dinosaurs do not walk the earth. Sharks do not terrorise idyllic summer beaches. And Jedi do not return. Without the magic of John Williams, audiences do not wonder, or weep, or believe … Steven Spielberg
