RedBard 71 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 You going to Tanglewood?Me too!I hope so. Raising money for yourself isn't easy when you're a poor, freelance composer like me, but I'm determined to make it.Beside, with the increased frequency of JW's health problems and his advanced age, I don't know how many more performances or film scores he has left in him, and I don't want to take my chances and wait for May of next year.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Share Posted May 16, 2015 I understand. I'm not. Got my own issues to worry about right now. I will do my best to be there, regardless of if JW will be able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,136 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Looks like I'll be cancelling this year then. Because of coming from England, I will be paying over 1200 pounds (1900 dollars) for the trip, so cancelling it means I can get about half that back. It kills me to do it, but I'd rather save as much money as I can, considering it will be a wasted trip anyway as I was only going to see Williams.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Blarg John Williams regretfully has had to cancel his upcoming appearances with the Boston Pops, May 22 and 23, due to a back ailment that requires him to rest and limit travel over the next few weeks. Please note, the program will remain the same. Richard Kaufman will conduct these performances. Among his many accomplishments, Richard Kaufman is the Principal Pops Conductor of the Pacific Symphony, the Pops Conductor Laureate of the Dallas Symphony, and is celebrating his tenth season at the helm of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s film concert series “CSO at the Movies.” As a friend and colleague of John Williams, Mr. Kaufman has appeared as a violinist on many of Mr. Williams’s film sound tracks over the years.

Naïve Old Fart 9,515 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks, Koray. It sounds as if they have got a pretty good replacement conductor. This concert might be worth going to, after all.Pity I live in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeltington 1,440 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I've been able to sell JW / Boston Pops tickets on Stubhub before as well, for around the original price I paid for them.

leeallen01 2,136 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I emailed the Boston Symphony about a refund, knowing full well the tickets are none refundable, but they replied with this:Thank you for your e-mail.We are also disappointed that Maestro Williams will be unable to conduct these concerts.We have processed a refund for the ticket price only. The handling fee cannot be refunded.We hope you will join us next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
