Popular Post karelm 2,903 Posted April 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2022 Our friend and Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra trombonist, @jimnova, posted this charming account of hanging out with Johnny the past few days. What an absolutely amazing time it was to have John Williams in town with the PSO these past few days… My heart is bursting, especially since I had the chance to sit and visit with him one on one after a rehearsal. Some highlights from our conversation: He warmly scolded me for asking if he remembered me Confirmed he was a trombone player as a kid Said he loves the trombone and wants a score (if I have one lying around ) to my Star Wars album (which he never received) to look at while he listens to it He congratulated me on finishing such a big project And finally, despite being booked out for 3 years, would consider writing a trombone choir piece… I’m over the moon! I can’t believe it’s been 25 years since I first had the pleasure of sharing a stage with this amazing man.

Popular Post Tom 4,640 Posted April 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2022 Very nice story. It is heartwarming to see Williams taking the time to interact with the players, including the Julliard part this week. It seems like he really took the week to dwell on the human side of music-making. Booked out three years--the man is ambitious. Looking at my planner, I have a three day outlook at the moment.
