Ring In The Holidays With The Music Of John Williams
Make space in your Christmas festivities calendar for a special one-night-only orchestral program of classic big screen compositions by John Williams, the father of the modern cinema sound. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra and conductor Lawrence Loh welcome the Children's Chorus of Greater Dallas and its directors Cynthia Nott and Terrie Preskitt-Brown for the one-hour family-friendly event, which features selected scores from the Harry Potter and Home Alone movie franchises.
Whether wrapping memorable melodies around the roar of a Tyrannosaurus-rex or evoking otherworldly scenes under the water and in outer space with lush orchestral arrangements, John Williams is an indelible part of the pop culture consciousness. With a career spanning nearly seven decades and multiple accolades (24 Grammy, five Oscars and four Golden Globe Awards amongst them), the composer remains one of the most respected and beloved in the industry and is still scoring Hollywood blockbusters at 86 years of age.
