The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates the musical brilliance of John Williams, undoubtedly one of the world's most prolific and respected film composers. As the most Oscar-nominated man alive, John Williams unleashed the power of the film score in over seventy-five blockbuster classics, creating one of the greatest film composer/director collaborations ever with the great Steven Spielberg.
The Orchestra will perform a handful of these superb orchestrations and legendary melodies, including music from Star Wars, Indiana Jones, E.T., Harry Potter, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Superman, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Hook, Fiddler on the Roof, Home Alone, War Horse and many more!
The leader of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Clio Gould, performs John Williams' most moving film score Schindler's List, widely considered to be one of Steven Spielberg's best movies. This Main Theme is a bleak, haunting, yet somehow uplifting violin piece, steeped in the traditions of folk music, whilst simultaneously infused with the symphonic Hollywood sweep.
