John Williams' Oboe Concerto makes its Finnish premiere performed by the Oulu Sinfonia on 15th of February 2018

[Incanus 5,713]

I just noticed that my hometown symphony orchestra Oulu Sinfonia here in Finland will be performing Williams' Oboe Concerto on the 15th of February 2018.

 

There are a few Finnish John Williams fans here on the messageboard so thought to post this news in its own thread. You can find more info HERE.

Below is the programme of the concert:

Awesome! Hope you can attend it.

[Incanus 5,713]

I'll certainly try!

[Joni Wiljami 1,206]

Too much happening now in the world of JW!!

All the LLL releases, Chicago concerts and now CE3K live at Royal Albert Hall...

 

Hmmm...the conclusion will be a personal bankruptcy...and/or a divorce..

 

[Incanus 5,713]

Yeah it is a great time to be a John Williams fan but financially it can be challenging.

 

But I don't think you should go that far Pasi.

I'm already divorced, and fortunately, my girlfriend is very supporting of my interests... so it just comes down to stealing banks or hitting the lottery jackpot

I can see the headlines: "A fan driven to a life of crime by a famous film composer. "John Williams made me do it! I needed the cash to keep up my film music life style!""  

[Miguel Andrade 1,260]

Anyone attended this concert?

[Incanus 5,713]

Alas I couldn't attend as my work schedule wouldn't permit me to travel. I don't know if any of the other Finnish JWfans went.
