Will 2,215 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/john-williams-harrison-ford-kerry-washington-and-james-corden-to-join-steven-spielberg-at-usc-shoah-foundation-ambassadors-for-humanity-gala-honoring-mellody-hobson-and-george-lucas-300375753.html Quote Film composer John Williams will conduct a performance with the Recording Arts Orchestra of Los Angeles and solo violinist Bing Wang at USC Shoah Foundation's Ambassadors for Humanity Gala on Dec. 8 in Los Angeles, honoring Mellody Hobson and George Lucas. The evening will include special appearances by James Corden from The Late Late Show, and celebrated artists and activists Harrison Ford and Kerry Washington. Presumably he'll just conduct the Schindler's List theme? (Or perhaps it's already happened!) Spielberg is of course there too. Ricard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post crumbs 14,318 Posted December 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2016 God I love the way JW subtly holds back the brass in the build up to the first major statement of Luke's Theme in Main Titles. Gustavo's interpretation of that moment feels a bit too controlled to my ears. Quietly hopeful Williams conducts the Main Titles himself for Episode VIII. Also, how good does Johnny look? Nearly 85 and sprightly as ever in front of the orchestra (if not moreso than he looked in some of the TFA session videos).

Will 2,215 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Wow! I guess I should have assumed he'd conduct Star Wars with Lucas there but the thought never crossed my mind ... and I'm also happy there are videos, which I didn't really expect either!

zoltan_902 141 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Boy, seeing this; if anyone ever wanted to 'honour' me with a gala evening, they should hire in John Williams and a full symphony orchestra. Or they just shouldn't bother at all. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,519 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I wish people also filmed the 'in-between' material more often. I would just love to see him walking around and talking and doing non-music stuff. But other than that, thanks for sharing. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
