Get ready to be swept away into the captivating world of cinema as the Bozeman Symphony presents "At the Movies: The Music of John Williams" during the first weekend of June. This not-to-be-missed event will highlight themes from blockbuster films such as Harry Potter, Jaws, Star Wars, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and more.
This concert will feature different music than the pieces played in the Symphony's John Williams 90th Birthday Celebration concert two years ago.
John Williams, hailed as one of the greatest film composers of all time, has enchanted audiences for over seven decades with his recognizable and unforgettable musical scores. Collaborating with renowned filmmakers like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, Williams has garnered an impressive collection of awards, including 26 Grammy Awards, five Academy Awards, seven BAFTA Awards, three Emmy Awards, and four Golden Globe Awards.
Norman Huynh, the Bozeman Symphony's Music Director, expressed his enthusiasm for bringing the community together through the universal language of music. "It is rare to hear this music outside of the movie setting. By showcasing the music of John Williams, our audience will have the opportunity to hear these iconic scores performed by our wonderful orchestra and choir. This is the perfect concert for people of all ages," says Huynh.
Noteworthy local soloists will also grace the stage, including Montana State University saxophonist Wonki Lee, praised by the New York Concert Review for his exceptional talent, performing Catch Me If You Can. Bozeman native violinist Felix Guggenheim, winner of the Montana Association of Symphony Orchestra's Concerto competition, will perform a moving rendition of "Remembrances" from Schindler's List.
The concerts will take place on Friday, June 7, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, June 8, at 2:30 p.m. 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, June 9, at 2:30 p.m., at the historic Willson Auditorium in downtown Bozeman, 404 West Main Street. Thanks to the generous support of sponsors Cal and Tricia DeSouza and Donald B. Gimbel, the community can enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience.
