The Legacy of John Williams Instagram

From Anne-Sophie Mutter, here's a few pics from the rehearsals of John Williams' Violin Concerto No.2, which will premiere at the @tanglewoodmusicfestival tomorrow, July 24, with the Maestro himself conducting the @bostonsymphony Orchestra and the renowned violinist.

📣 COMING SOON on The Legacy of John Williams 🎙

We mourn legendary director Richard Donner, who passed away at age 91 on July 5, 2021.

"I first began studying music, if I can call it that, in the 1930s as a piano student. I’ve always had good teachers…who were colleagues of my father… [I] worked seriously at the piano through my teenage years and studied with Rosina Lhévinne at Juilliard briefly in the early middle ’50s, both in New York at the Juilliard School and later out here at the old Los Angeles Conservatory on Figueroa Street, where she used to come give master classes in the summer. But I also played the trombone, and picked up trumpets and various instruments, even scrubbed on a cello occasionally. I had an orchestration teacher, Robert Van Eps, who was always explaining to me that in order to understand the orchestra, you need to play one member of each group of the orchestra – a wind, a string, a percussion, a brass, well enough to sit in a school rehearsal… Those were among the greatest lessons that I’ve had in my life…"

📣 NEW PODCAST EPISODE! 🎙

📣 THE FILM MUSIC OF JOHN WILLIAMS is the revised and updated edition of Emilio Audissino's groundbreaking best-selling book from 2014 where he discusses John Williams' unique approach to film composition by examining his neoclassical style in context, demonstrating how he revived and revised classical Hollywood music. In this new edition, Audissino expands and further illuminates on the Maestro's creative process and achievements in film music, including the most recent Star Wars sequels. The book also presents an in-depth analysis of Williams' iconic score for the 1979 film version of DRACULA directed by John Badham.
