John Williams — a night of stories and music at Juilliard

[Maestro 1,528]

Tonight I am co-presenting a (frankly incredible) event at Juilliard alongside composer Nicholas Britell. We'll both be chatting about John and his history with Juilliard, among various other topics, but there will also be some unique arrangements and live performances by star students—as well as the star of John's piano concerto, Emanuel Ax, who is playing excerpts from its first two movements as well as the theme from "Sabrina"! (Ax told me how much he liked that theme, so I made this request.)

 

And good news: it's being livestreamed here: https://www.juilliard.edu/live

 

6pm EST. More info here: https://www.juilliard.edu/event/182056/john-williams-composers-life-night-stories-and-music

I know a good story about SCHINDLER'S LIST, and dead composers

Just watched - inspiring to see/hear young folks rearrange and play John Williams' music.

What a great event, @Maestro. Terrific performances and discussions. Many thanks again to you, Maestro John Williams and everyone else involved in this wonderful tome. 
 

Also, the official confirmation of the Maestro doing the score for Steven Spielberg’s upcoming film, their 30th feature film collaboration, was icing on the cake!

Aw man, I only live a 20 minute walk away from there, but only just saw this post! What a bummer. Sounds like it was amazing!

Damn with more notice I might've been able to catch this live. Will a recording be posted anywhere?

[Jay 44,378]

Yes, why wasn't this shared here until mere hours beforehand?

Dang, I worked late tonight and could have had this on in the background the whole time!  Bring on the archived recording!
