John Williams Beyond Cinema

John Williams is a living film-music legend, his rich scores bringing dozens of blockbuster movies to vivid life, including the Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jaws and Jurassic Park series. But away from the silver screen, Williams has continuously maintained a steady output of music for the concert hall that is no less masterful. It includes symphonies, sonatas, fanfares, concertos and even music for a Presidential inauguration (his “Air and Simple Gifts” was played at Obama’s 2009 inauguration). Discover another side to the composer here.
