Also me!

None of the Rise of Skywalker concert arrangements (there's 4 of them) have actually been conducted in a concert by Williams himself yet!
 
Only by other conductors.

Why?  Who knows...

Many Rise of Skywalker concert arrangements have been performed in various concerts.

There doesn't exist a Fabelmans concert arrangement for concerts yet

"Saving Private Lion" ;-)
 

I found the part about Mutter playing the "Classics" cringeworthy.  

So after a week in New Jersey my Dial of Destiny CD order was in Jamaica, NY (JFK) yesterday and should be flying to Canada soon. Hopefully customs will be as lazy as those handling my recent La-La-Land Always, Sabrina, and Amistad order and just let it slide through without any taxes.

Nice. I'm in Row F. It'll be my first time at Carnegie Hall, so I'm looking forward to that too.

I'm still hoping to see if the piano concert gets premiered at Tanglewood this summer

Got mine today (Germany), and had to pay the postman an extra 8 Euros of customs.

You know what they say - what happens in East Rutherford, New Jersey, stays in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Upcoming concert to be broadcast at Stage+
https://www.stage-plus.com/video/live_concert_9HKNCPA3DTN66PBIEHFJAC1M

Secured tickets for this yesterday, hoping that we may be getting Helena's Theme and some of the more recent "selected film themes"...
 
P.S. Only a dozen tickets left!

Maybe Disney pressed only 10 discs for the first batch...

Recently, I've been very impressed by John Williams' arrangement of The Long Goodbye Theme as heard on the DG Violin Concerto No. 2 release (2022). 
 
I think it may be one of Williams' very best arrangements and it puts the theme in a completely new perspective.
 
Just sharing in case anyone hasn't heard it. 
 
 

The way inflation is going maybe Americans can petition and have his face put on a new $200 bill. Or given his prominence as America's national composer, get minted on the $1 coin like Austria has done with Mozart on the Euro coin.

I think it is also written in the horn parts, Bells up!!
 
 

They will throw in some non-Mutter pieces to let her rest.  Probably some opening fanfare, a middle piece, and end with Throne Room.  

Yeah when I saw it was a "benefit concert" I was a little worried that it might be in the $400s like I paid in New York in April (at the end of a year-long gap year I just finished paying off two weeks ago)!
 
In Philadelphia it was close to $200 in 2022, which given current exchange rates was already tough on a Canadian's wallet.

Nice seat!
 
Yeah, this pricing is much more what I’m using to for Williams, even with special guests. The upcoming NYC and Philly prices are ridiculous, especially the latter!

Just got tickets for me, my sister and my mom. Can't wait to see him in concert!

Yep finally got one row F a little on the left and got a confirmation. There was one available dead center in the same row but lost it when the site crashed. Looks like it's back now if somebody wants it.
 
Left side should be good to see the interplay between Williams and Mutter.
 
Pricing was alright (about $120).

Crashed for me too but seems to be better now. Just got second row on the left!

It's the slower, more elegant version of "E.T. And Me" that premiered in Boston in 2009.  I suppose the only "story" is that he probably wrote it for the Boston Pops harpist at the time, Ann Hobson-Pilot.
 
 
There's no need for bootlegs, it's been available on the Keith Lockhart "Lights, Camera... Music!" album for 6 years now.

My order just shipped!
