CONCIERTO – 20/2/2024 – 19:30h – FILADELFIA

Descripción oficial:

With an astonishing 25 GRAMMY® Awards (out of a staggering 73 nominations) and five Oscars, John Williams is one of the most prolific and beloved film composers of all time, with unforgettable scores including JawsClose Encounters of the Third Kind; the Star WarsIndiana Jones, and Harry Potter films; Schindler’s List, and dozens more. But his talents go far beyond the movies.

In this one-night-only performance, Williams conducts a moving, memory-stirring selection of music from his films, and welcomes his long-time friend and 19-time GRAMMY winner Yo-Yo Ma for a performance of his Cello Concerto.

The Concerto transports the listener, from its opening theme “as effective an introduction to a character as the first five minutes of any Spielberg film” (The Washington Post) to its lyrical, poignant finale. It’s a rare opportunity to hear two towering artists who have shaped much of the musical world of the past half-century, on stage together in a joyful reunion!
