Andrej 48 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 As usual, Boston Pops announced their Spring Pops Season in Group Section. According to this material, there will be 3 John Williams Film Night Tributes Concerts on May 29-May 31 in Boston (Symphony Hall). All three concerts will be conducted by Keith Lockhart. Unfortunately there is no clear info on John’s presence during the concerts, no „special guest„ announcement neither. My assumption is, that JW might not be there after all, but this is just a guess… Source: http://bso.http.internapcdn.net/bso/images/groups/SPOPS19_Brochure_Jan16.pdf JOHN WILLIAMS FILM NIGHT TRIBUTES Keith Lockhart, conductor Wednesday, May 29, 8pm Thursday, May 30, 8pm Friday, May 31, 8pm Experience the awe and excitement of cinema’s greatest music featuring the scores of the world’s most beloved film composer, the Boston Pops’ own John Williams.

rpvee 805 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Well, that would be disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfan 128 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Yep.. I saw this just in time for the Tanglewood on sale date yesterday. Got my ticket for Tanglewood on Parade, the only concert of 2019 where Maestro Williams is confirmed to conduct at least one or two pieces. Wishing him all the best for his recovery, and Star Wars 9!

JTGL 173 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I really thought about going here but not without John himself attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about getting a ticket for that myself, but it's a rather meagre programme to justify a trip to America, especially with the level of Williams's involvement being (I believe) still unknown. And who knows what happens until then. Even if it's just a scheduling conflict with Ep9, I wouldn't be all too surprised if Williams ended up not conducting this at all.

Foxfan 128 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 The program is not complete yet. There are some Pops selections as well (one year KL conducted the JFK suite), and the concert ends with both the TMC (student) orchestra joining forces with the BSO for a supersized rendition of Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture, with live canons on the lawn.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Just now, Nick Parker said: Hell yeah, the Turbulent Years! Is the opening of the floodgates for cool Williams selections that haven't been played hundreds of thousands of times over the years in concerts? It's been Lockhart's thing to include at least a couple seldom played cues for a few years now! Hence the Lights Camera Music album. aescalle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the Star Wars In Concert show this year (I didn't make it to Film Night) and the program book included the other concerts that week; I forget which show it was (it wasn't a Film Night concert) but I did notice that selection from Nixon on that night's set list.

bollemanneke 3,342 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 This is probably something only I pay attention to, but... why does Lockhart sound completely different than he did at the BBC Prom? Did he have a cold or something in London? I barely recognise him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
