Stunning so far!! Across the Stars with Anne-Sophie was an encore for the first half. Intermission now!

This makes me so happy. Seeing him in NYC on Thursday and hoping for the same! Enjoy the rest of the concert

That’s amazing hopes it’s the same on Thursday

What a night! Seemed the orchestra had one more encore in their sheet music, but the Maestro did the sleepy hands after E.T.

 

Can’t wait for Thursday and Monday!

The concert was amazing! I’m really happy they played Schindler’s List.

Of the four concerts I’ve attended, this was by far the most incredible.

Parsing Tuesday night’s sold-out Philadelphia Orchestra audience in Verizon Hall, you had to marvel at the diversity — or at least the generational spread — that is rare at orchestra concerts. Everyone arrived on this unusual night by way of a different route, but the multiple spontaneous standing ovations suggested they all got what they came for: John Williams.

Did anyone here record any vidoes? I noticed a lot of people in the audience recording.

I was able to find a few clips/recordings of ET Flying Theme and Throne Room/Finale from this concert on Instagram by sifting through #johnwilliams and #philadelphiaorchestra by most recently posted. It was a phenomenal concert and these little clips are a great way of reliving that night

I know this is very late, but I finally got around to uploading my video of the Flying Theme encore:
