The great John Williams conducts The Philadelphia Orchestra and Yo-Yo Ma in a program of his iconic film scores and the spectacular Cello Concerto. Composed for Ma in 1994, its four movements feature “as much variety and contrast as possible,” notes Williams. The opening Theme and Cadenza casts the cello in a “hero’s role,” while the Blues movement conjures “ghosts of Ellington and Strayhorn.” The Scherzo is about “speed, deftness, and sleight of hand;” while the lyrical finale highlights the “greatest” of Ma’s gifts: his “ability to ‘connect’ with every individual in his audience.”


Just a couple days after what’s likely the same concert program in Philadelphia.

More cello film arrangements, please.  Hey, you know what would sound great on cello (besides everything)?  The Love Theme from The Terminal!

 

(As I type this, my iPod just served up Robert Folk's theme from Beastmaster 2, which would also sound great on cello, and which Williams is welcome to arrange if he wants to bring back the "Por Una Cabeza" days while he's at it.) :D

Well, it looks like this is becoming a yearly tradition for me since Across the Stars concert in 2022 at Carnegie Hall, with this year attending the concert at David Geffin Hall. Will need to bundle up for this one, though.

So I'm a bit confused how this works. Have tickets already gone on sale and you need a Carnegie Hall subscription to order them now? Or do you need a subscription to access pricing information but you can't currently order tickets but will be able to at a later date?

Definitely getting tickets the moment they are available to order on August 21. Also, I am going to see if I can attend the gala dinner as well.
