Omen II 1,235 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will again be paying tribute to John Williams in two concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in October 2016. The ones in 2012 and 2014 at the same venue were great fun (even allowing for the sacrilegious arrangement of Jaws) and played to a sold out hall. http://www.rpo.co.uk/whats-on/eventdetail/546/-/john-williams-2016 Robert Ziegler conducts while Tommy Pearson presents and reads out people's drunken tweets from the interval.

Incanus 5,715 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I edited the topic title into something less heart attack inducing. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard, I've edited the title even further to minimise the risk of post traumatic myocardial infarction just for you. In all honesty I don't even remember what the original thread title was. I typed it back in January. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loert 2,511 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Oh, I didn't realize that "heart attack" was being used in a positive way. Makes sense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,715 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 The title was originally "John Williams at Royal Albert Hall 2016" which was a bit misleading and heart attack inducing to most Williams fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omen II 1,235 Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Did anyone go to either of these concerts at the Royal Albert Hall yesterday? There are lots of positive comments about them online but I would be interested to see what pieces were played and if there were any unusual selections. Did the RPO play the 'special' arrangement of Jaws, for example? With the LSO concert next month I gave this one a swerve and went to a football match instead ().

Naïve Old Fart 9,533 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Since you mentioned East Anglia, perhaps Ipswich/Huddersfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Richard, if you're referring to the football it was Wycombe Wanderers v Exeter City. If anyone wants to see the RPO performing John Williams's music, there are still at least three more performances of this concert early next year in the provinces: at Cambridge Corn Exchange on 21st January 2017, at Southend Cliffs Pavilion on 22nd January 2017 and at Hull City Hall on 2nd February 2017.
