Miz 139 Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 John Williams is known to perform numerous concerts in the USA, but has anyone been to any outside of the country?I live in merrie olde Engalnd, and wondered when JW last visited here. Ever? I would love to see him conduct his concerts live, but never hear of any dates for British performances. Has he performed outside of the USA before? I would love to see one of his concerts, but all I get are the reviews of one in 'CA' or 'NY' or some such far off place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren 75 Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 I bet he goes when he conducts the London Symphony for a recording,if he doesn't get someone else to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miz 139 Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 Yeah, I would have thought he's done that before. Does anyone know details on any British performances? Maybe even some future dates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,191 Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 He's conducted the LSO in concert before.Yeah, I have a friend in Britain who got his signature when he premiered the ESB suite there, in 1980 I believe.Marian - hoping Williams does another concert in London soon.

Ricard 2,245 Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Williams conducted the LSO in concert in June 1997. That was his last perfomance in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocelot 508 Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 It was at the Barbican I believe. I was there and it was great because it's a small venue and we were right up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren 75 Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 I would try contacting the LSO and the like for info of upcoming events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omen II 1,235 Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Williams conducted the LSO in concert in June 1997. That was his last perfomance in Europe.Not quite right, Ricard, it was July 1998 that JW conducted the LSO at the Barbican in two concerts, the second of which included his tuba concerto. He also gave concerts with the LSO in 1996 at the same venue.Miz,As JW is perhaps most likely to give UK concerts with the LSO, I suggest your joining their mailing list at www.lso.co.uk. That way you also get to hear about other great concerts well in advance.Damien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Outside the USA, Williams conducted the LSO while in London (he worked with the orchestra since 1971), and in Japan, on tour with The Boston Pops Orchestra/Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra.I also wish he could came to Portugal someday... but guess it won't happen.
