Omen II 1,235 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 How many film composers have you seen in the flesh, whether at a concert or passing them in the street? I've seen a fair few, but I suspect others will have encountered many more. Here is my list of 'spots':John WilliamsJerry GoldsmithElmer BernsteinEnnio MorriconeHoward ShoreBilly GoldenbergJoel McNeelyJames BernardJohn CameronPhilip GlassThat's ten. Do I hear eleven or more? Have you spotted any 'rare' ones (a lesser spotted Manfredini perhaps, a marsh Cacavas or a great northern Safan)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsp3studio 1 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Unfortunately, the only one I have seen is John Williams, whom I got to talk to after his lecture at the Berkshire Museum last summer. I'm hoping I'll get to see Howard Shore, John Debney, and Michael Giacchino in the near future.Robert Summers Potterton III S.P.C.Composer, Keyboardist, Conductorwww.rsp3.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry B 50 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 None. The one Boston Pops concert I went to, John Williams was too busy to make it (working on War of the Worlds), so Bruce Hangen conducted the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I saw Goldsmith conducting three of his own concerts and Brosse conducting a fourth. I always attended a (pretty bad) Nyman concert... apparently he got a similar impression, because he hasn't given a single concert here since (and I think he came here regularly before that).

Johnnyecks 33 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I've had the opportunity to see Jerry Goldsmith, at the one (and only) NY Filmharmonic concert in NYC back in ... '98 was it?That was a fantastic concert, and being that I had very good (and expensive) seats, I got to see him from up close. That was the first film music concert that I ever attended.I've also met:Howard Shore - at the NJPAC Lord of the Rings Symphony concert here in NJ last yearJohn Williams - in Pittsburgh '99John Williams - in Boston '02 (see attached pic) :spiny: John Williams - in Pittsburgh '04 or '05John Williams - in NYC last year.The Boston trip was particularly memorable.For this reason: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, here's 912.My girth scared him.He shouted in mid-concert..."Hey big-boy with scary shaven mug-shot head, come see me after the show"Actually, through some clever thinking, I was able to get my name on his 'guest list' for a meet and greet, privately, after the show. I can't go into the details, but it isn't that hard to figure out. If you're going to school for this sort of stuff, and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also at Masters of horror signing in Burbank met Brian Tyler, Christopher Young and Nathan Barr. There's another singing in several weeks John Powell is supposed to attend.--Check out www.soundtrack.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
