Saxman717 22 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Can't believe we get to experience this again 5 years after JW last visited Baltimore.......I have the exact same seats as last time.......4th row orchestra, a little in from the aisle on the left side ---- perfect for getting the intimate sound and having a good angle on the Maestro, being less than 20 ft from him. His Baltimore concert in 2013 was electric ---- best concert that I have ever attended (and I've attended such ones as him conducting half the concert at Tanglewood last year). Would there be any way to get a recording of that concert? I'm contemplating the post-concert reception, but the fee is so very high...................can anyone recommend this event from past experience at other concerts that had post-concert VIP sessions with JW?

MrScratch 294 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I've considered calling the orchestra to ask if autographs are permitted and if we get to talk to JW. I have a feeling the former will not be permitted and the latter cannot be guaranteed. If I got to meet him again, I'd probably ask about Sugarland Express.

MrScratch 294 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I’m a season subscriber and I paid $175 apiece for my tickets. I noticed recently they are charging $300/ticket. Last time he came here it was billed as a concert to benefit the musicians’ pension fund. http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2013-03-14/entertainment/bal-john-williams-to-conduct-benefit-for-bso-pension-fund-20130314_1_pension-fund-baltimore-symphony-bso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,511 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I'd send Marin Alsop on a nice long guided tour of Barry Levinson's favourite locations, and keep JW all to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxman717 22 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Is there any way to get the recording from his concert in Baltimore in 2013? That was an amazing experience and it would be very special to have the recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also I'll be flying back over to the states for Baltimore too before London in October! I'm trying to get a huge dose of Williams before he slows down his conducting appearances.

So Williams will conduct the same set as in Chicago.

leeallen01 2,135 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Williams is used to throwing with pinpoint accuracy. He has a killer arm. If a brass player is off slightly during a performance, he can easily hit them all the way from the conductors podium. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrScratch 294 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I'll be at the Orioles game too. I drive by the stadium everyday on my way home from work so I'll probably pop into the stadium, watch the pregame and first pitch stuff and maybe stick around for a few innings. I'll have to record the local broadcast of the game too, in case they talk to him on air. On 5/31/2018 at 8:22 PM, Batman's Diet Coke said: I hope Williams doesn't get murdered in Baltimore.

leeallen01 2,135 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I've had to cancel my trip to NYC and Baltimore last minute because of family problems. Very sad about it, but considering the heavy thunderstorms and lightning strikes, plus the flooding in Baltimore, the concert might not even happen anyway. Plus 7 people were shot in Baltimore yesterday and my mother and myself aren't happy walking through the city at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayesian 1,359 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Sorry to hear about your last-minute cancellation, but keep the sour grapes to yourself.

leeallen01 2,135 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 What? I'm simply listing the reasons why the trip wouldn't have been enjoyable as it could have been for me, if I was able to go. I'm allowed to be disappointed. And I'm also allowed to vent my anger at the loss of money I now have to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxman717 22 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Wednesday can't get here soon enough. I've got tickets in the 4th row center orchestra, exact same seats as I had for the 2013 concert. Here's hoping that Johnny doesn't have another accidental spill like last time!!! I'm still contemplating the post-concert reception. The price of admission is so very high for a cocktail/dessert reception ($500 per ticket). ...................can anyone recommend this event from past experience at other concerts that had post-concert VIP sessions with JW? Is $1000 for two people worth the price for this event? I feel like I should be getting a personal lunch w/ JW for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
