However, according to the GSA website the address hasn't changed:

The Gorfaine/Schwartz Agency, Inc.
Talent Agency

4111 W. Alameda Avenue • Suite 509
Burbank, California • 91505

USA

Anyone had a similar problem recently?

These are the two other options as far as we know:

Mr. John Williams

Boston Symphony Orchestra
Symphony Hall
301 Massachusetts Ave.
Boston, MA 02115

USA

John Williams
Chasen & Company
8560 W Sunset Blvd.
Suite 210
Los Angeles, CA 90069
USA

Any recent experiences regarding this topic?

Dear Mr. Williams,

I am writing to ask you to stop slowing down when you play the first triolet of the Star Wars Theme, that's not pretty.

Regards,

Bespin

Any thoughts on this?

I've had letters returned presumably because the postal service couldn't make out some of the handwriting, even though the address was correct. That could be the case here. Since then, I've always had my labels printed and have had no problems with letters and packages being returned.

So I've compiled all the main email addresses of John Williams' agency (and some direct telephone numbers). Since they are not published on their website but aren't hidden from the public eye either, I'm debating on posting them here or just keep them in case someone really needs the information. Opinions?

I got another signed picture but this is the traditional BSO picture whick came with a printed interview. This was last year! I think this came via the Boston Pops address.

I've tried to write him twice. The first time - admittedly, I was much younger - was simple autograph hunting. I think AI had just come out and I sent him the CD cover, which was returned with a very generic signed photo (which I'm sure is a fake or an "autopen" as collectors seem to call it).

The second time I wrote was last year. I took months of writing to get it down to a single page. I'm lucky enough to be Facebook friends with a name I won't post here, who suggested a mailing address (I made sure to confirm it was a "professional" address, not a personal one). I mailed it out... and never heard back.

At this point, all I want is to (somehow) know he read it. Thats all I really care about.

Great friends you got there!

Well, its someone who WOULD know how to contact John, since they've worked together more than once. I've always assumed that the letter ended up in some fanmail pile, read by an assistant and then tossed into the fireplace with the rest.

I didn't expect a personalized reply with a signed photo and tickets to Tanglewood and a special thanks in a Star Wars CD - but a nice paragraph from his office saying "thank you, we passed it on to him" would've sufficed somehow. I can't tell you how I sweated over that letter almost daily for close to half a year.
