    I'll be going to all 3 concerts. I'd be interested in joining if there is a meet-up afterwards any of the nights

    And the performance
     
    I'm sure if Williams recorded this with the Boston Pops it would sound great.

    MSM got a reaction from Marc in The Sabrina theme. A hidden gem?   
    Glad to see Sabrina has gained popularity over the years. It has been my favorite JW score since 1996.

    There are so many reasons why a composer born in 1932 would not be still composing scores in 2022. We are incredibly lucky as JW fans that we are celebrating his 90th birthday and also anticipating his future scores.

    MSM got a reaction from SteveMc in JW is writing a new violin concerto for Anne-Sophie Mutter - "Violin Concerto No. 2"   
    I agree with a lot that has been said already. Trademark Williams orchestration, great violin writing, and passionately performed. Williams’s classical music always feels like a fresh breath of air to me, while giving a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the Maestro’s mind.
     
    The leitmotif from the 2nd and 4th movements (my favorite ones) indeed echoed the Moonlight theme from Sabrina. JW performed his arrangement of Theme from Sabrina last year in Vienna, at that time he was reportedly already writing the new concerto. Vague memories of the original score might have crossed his mind.
     
    Overall it’s a wonderful addition to his already impressive body of concert music. We are fortunate to be witnesses.

    Decent review, though I do get a bit annoyed when professional reviewers lament the lack of melodies in Williams' concert works.  Do other contemporary classical composers get zinged for that?  Surely it is a testament to Williams' strengths that he can effortlessly and brilliantly compose in both veins.

    Actually the subscriptions can be bought from €136 ($164) upward…I added that in my earlier post. Indeed from seeing the floor plan many seats are blocked from subscription but those are generally not the best seats.
  23. Haha

    The "someone" is @MSM, who has posted above.
     
    And yes, it's standard for subscriptions to be paid in full, one sum for all concerts. I guess the special COVID thing here is that they apparently won't charge the whole amount at once, in case individual concerts get cancelled.
     
    Anyway, in case the concerts sell out before I can get a ticket and any of you subscription buyers end up not being able to go, let me be the first on the list of people who'd be happy to buy a ticket off you.

    The average priced subscription costs as much as a Vienna ticket - and you get Zubin Mehta with Mahler 3 on top...
    And then there is the small print...
    Subscription purchase without risk
    Be assured: even if not all seats in our venues can be occupied due to the pandemic, or if individual concerts do not take place – the purchase of a subscription is risk free.
    You only pay when we know for sure that we can offer you your seats.
    We make this possible via direct debit. Payment will only be collected once it is certain that the events can take place. If individual events are cancelled due to the pandemic, you will of course receive a partial refund.
    You will receive an exclusive advance booking rights and 25% discount for all concerts organised by us, if individual subscription series have to be cancelled.
  25. Thanks

    As some of you pointed out already, the only way at the moment is to buy subscriptions in Series K (October 14) and C (October 15), at €135 (about $164) up to €432 (about $542) per series. Call +49 30 254880 and ask for the “abo service” if you want this. Separate tickets go on sale only from August onward, also counts for Saturday the 16th (no possibility for subscription).
