New World Symphony (Miami) honors JW at gala 2/22/25
MSM replied to Maestro's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
From 40 minutes ago ------------------------- Dear NWS Gala Supporter, Regrettably, a minor health matter has prevented John Williams from being in Miami for this weekend’s Gala. He is so sorry to miss this wonderful celebration of the New World Symphony and our collective mission of supporting our country’s best and brightest young orchestral musicians. John wishes to thank everyone who has so generously supported this gala and asks us to kindly share the following personal message with each of you: "I’m so sorry to miss being with all of you at this year’s gala and I wish to thank everyone present for supporting these brilliant young musicians. I also wish to congratulate Maestro Denève on his wonderful work inspiring a new generation of orchestral musicians. They are the future of our cultural life, and all of you are the generous custodians of that precious future." We wish Maestro Williams a swift recovery and we thank him for everything he does to support America’s orchestral musicians. I look forward to greeting you at this very special Gala ------------------------- -

I agree with all that has been said. Lovely concert, wonderful orchestra, great atmosphere, and “Just Down West St” was a treat🤗 -

Deadline's December 31st Article on John Williams
MSM replied to Meredith McKay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
All of the above might be true. Don’t forget he enjoys surprise guest conducting…or he might step in at the last moment. Its difficult to keep up w the Maestro😅 -
2023 John Williams Official top 10 film scores. Your individual lists.
MSM replied to JoeinAR's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I used to make these lists over and over again. They happen to change over time, and with mood. My favorite JW period is probably 1979-2002, concert works and all. Overall I find myself coming back to Jurassic Park, Harry Potter 1, Sabrina, Always, Hook, Schindler's List, Phantom Menace, E.T., Dial of Destiny, Temple of Doom. Mostly the orchestration 'Bibles', I think. -
Nice poll. I had the same idea some time ago and even made a playlist:
-
On Friday August 11 JW’s La Jolla quartet was performed by BSO members among whom Jessica Zhou in Ozawa Hall. Then they played Theme from Sabrina in an arrangement for the same ensemble. Sabrina is my all time fav JW score and this version was just too beautiful😪 At 8:00 pm Anne-Sophie Mutter masterfully performed JW’s Violin Concerto no. 2 in the Shed (conducted by Andris Nelsons) after which the Maestro took the stage once again to lead ASM and the BSO in two wonderful encores (Hedwig’s Theme and Helena’s Theme).
-
Not sure if it adds anything - there’s no way to surpass mr Hooper’s photos for sure😅 - but here are a few shots for whomever interested.

Marvelous concert and wonderful to see the Maestro in such excellent condition! Loved the “wounded pride of the film composer” joke now being told with “Asteroid Field”. I am not so active on the board anymore but great to see so many of us made it to this concert🤗 Here’s a playlist:
-
I have got 3 tickets to sell for August 5, 8 and 11, 1 ticket per concert. All in front sections in the shed. Please pm if interested.
-
Btw somehow I expected (hoped?) JW would use ancient Greek scales for his mystery themes 😅 but the ones he wrote sound exotic enough already (mostly using Hungarian minor) especially combined w the orchestration (setar). Ancient Greek scales seem to be quite complex☹️ …
-
For whomever it might be of interest: my 2 cents on Helena’s Theme which I did back in September 2022, for my friend Ramon. Forgive the harmony mistakes and meter guesses…and probably the hemiole isn’t right either. @Falstaft yours looks great!
