Official statements:
The chairman of the Vienna Philharmonic, Daniel Froschauer, and business manager Michael Bladerer are pleased about the renewed artistic partnership with John Williams: “In addition to many legendary film music compositions, the program will feature John Williams’ Violin Concerto #2, composed in 2021 especially for Anne-Sophie Mutter. In this manner, we celebrate with John Williams and Anne-Sophie Mutter the composer’s 90th birthday.”
The director of the Society of Friends of Music, Dr. Stephan Pauly, shares the anticipation of the orchestra: “Over several decades, the music of John Williams has inspired millions of people around the world.
