Anne-Sophie Mutter will give the UK premiere of John Williams's Violin Concerto No. 2 with the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall in January 2024. Tickets go on general sale on Tuesday 2nd May 2023. Mutter plays John Williams As well as a suite from Superman, the concert will also feature a suite from Leonard Bernstein's On the Waterfront. There is no sign that John Williams himself will be in attendance (Jonathon Heyward will conduct) but I guess you never know. It would be great to hear another of Williams's concertos live, as I have only ever seen the Tuba Concerto performed by Patrick Harrild with the LSO many years ago.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra has just announced its 2013-2014 season schedule, which will include two concerts in November 2013 celebrating The Genius of Film Music. The concerts, part of a year-long celebration of twentieth century music entitled 'The Rest Is Noise', will be conducted by expert film music conductors John Mauceri and Dirk Brosse respectively. The first covers the period 1960 to 1980, the second 1980 to 2000 (although someone might need to remind them what year Star Wars was released ).

Both concerts will take place at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
