Will 2,215 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Probably a joke. It's on April Fools' Day for crying out loud! In all seriousness, though, this is interesting, thanks for letting us know. Hopefully the event is captured and posted on YouTube. No surprise JW will be attending given the location. I too assume he must be conducting (or at the very least giving a speech). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Woah, cool! I don't think Williams has played piano publicly for a while. Hope a video surfaces! Hadn't heard this piece before but it's really fun: Williams must have really enjoyed himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aviazn 273 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Quote When composer Williams took the stage, after conducting Chenoweth in an arrangement of “Moon River,” he too directed his memories at Ginny. “I was all of 25 years old when Henry invited me to Universal Studios to play in his orchestra for a film session,” he recalled. “And apparently, it went very well, and I began to play with Henry on all of his recording sessions. He frequently had a chorus, and there was a beautiful young girl I kept noticing on session after session. One day I said to one of my musician friends, ‘Who is that fabulous blond girl up in the chorus? The third one in from the left.’ And he said, ‘Forget it. That’s Ginny, and she’s married to Hank.’ “So when Ginny invited me to be her date tonight, after I think 60 years” — Williams savored the pause — “I feel like I have finally made it.” http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/la-et-cm-henry-mancini-tribute-20170402-htmlstory.html I really hope there's video of this! h/t @Maestro for writing up this gem.

We were still savouring the Schindler's List one and then he came up with the one of Leia's theme written as a "love theme" for Luke and Leia last year and now he comes up with this Mancini story. Too many anecdotes Johnny baby. Too many anecdotes! Once and Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,384 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Pre-concert footage, at least.
