The Tulsa Symphony Orchestra Presents an Evening of Film Music by John Williams

Aired on Friday, May 8th.

John Williams -- the still-active genius who created the music for such classic movies as "Jaws," "Star Wars," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," "E.T.: The Extraterrestrial," and "Schindler's List" (to name just a handful) -- is arguably the greatest composer ever to work in Hollywood. And his memorable, broadly popular music will be the focal point for the final Tulsa Symphony Orchestra concert of this season. Tomorrow night, Saturday the 9th, beginning at 7:30pm, the TSO will present a program entitled "Simply Cinematic: The Music of John Williams" in the Tulsa PAC's Chapman Music Hall. Our guest on ST today is Ron Spigelman, who will be the guest conductor for this concert. You can learn more about the show here, and can read the program notes for the concert at this link.
