Great! That's why more orchestras should perform the music of Williams (and other film composers). Crossover appeal, man, CROSSOVER APPEAL!

It's my belief that this kind of thing is (and will be for years to come) one of John's greatest legacy in the music world (not just film music). He introduced generations of listeners to the sound of the symphony orchestra and truly helped a lot of people to love and appreciate the great classical repertoire.

He's a true hero.

Yes, when I went to a couple of concert I could see parents with their children. And they loved it.

Maurizio, was it you who posted that video from some JW concert with that small girl conducting?
