“This concert is a great one to bring the kids to, but really, these pieces are beloved by all,” Dr. Ronnie Sanders, the award-winning conductor and artistic director said. “We’re particularly looking forward to our tribute to John Williams, who is more than just a composer. With just a few notes, from the movie “Jaws” for example, he has created idiomatic sounds that are identifiable worldwide. It’s rare to be able to consistently elicit such strong emotional responses with music the way he has throughout his career.”
The performance will feature recognizable music from classics such as “E.T.”, “Star Wars”, “Hamilton” and “Frozen” among others. Here’s a rundown of the music to be performed:
- “The Greatest Showman”
- “Hamilton”
- “Fantastic Beasts”
- “Phantom of the Opera”
- “West Side Story”
- “Fiddler on the Roof” Symphonic Dances
- Tribute to John Williams: “E.T.”, “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, “Harry Potter”, “Superman”, “Jaws” and “Star Wars”
- “Lion King”
- “Lord of the Rings”
- “Frozen”
