  1. It's official -- JW will conduct the second half! https://www.carnegiehall.org/Calendar/2024/02/22/An-Evening-with-John-Williams-and-Yo-Yo-Ma-0700PM
  2. Yeah that is surprising and a bit disappointing -- but still outweighed in my view by the fact that we will (I hope) get to hear JW talk between pieces, etc. I was worried we wouldn't hear him speak much (if at all) if he only did the first half!
  3. WOW, really hoping he does the second half in New York too!!
  4. Yeah I've been wondering about that. I'm not sure if there's much (any?) precedent for JW conducting only the first half. Definitely hoping he does encores after the second half--would be weird to have the concert end without its star performer!
  5. Looks like Helena’s Theme got removed from the program? That’s unfortunate — maybe it’ll be an encore.
  6. I haven't seen the film, but I did watch this clip on YouTube and ... wow, "Let's Fly" works so well in the film: Powell's music gives the scene an almost balletic grace. Beautiful marriage of picture and score.
  7. Program notes: https://www.philorch.org/globalassets/philadelphia-orchestra/pdp/program-notes/book-26_john-williams-with-yo-yo-ma.pdf
  8. I wonder if "Tributes! For Seiji" will be added to the program in light of yesterday's news. It's a lovely piece.
  9. Yep, fortunately I was later able to snag one! By the way, there appear to be a few (rather pricey -- $500) tickets on sale right now on the official website. Just FYI in case anyone is still looking.
  10. Some interesting influence here that I just discovered!
  11. Can really hear some influence on JW's writing!
  12. I got one!!! It's high up in the balcony and has a somewhat obstructed view, but just grateful to be going.
  13. Welp, Carnegie now tells me that concert only tickets have sold out. Not sure how that could’ve happened — I’ve been checking the website virtually every day!
