TPO in Cinema: Maestro of the Movies – a Tribute to John Williams

Anthony Gabriele, conductor
Ernest Lawson, host
Turku Philharmonic Orchestra

In the words of Steven Spielberg, “without John Williams, bicycles do not fly, nor do brooms in Quidditch matches or heroes in red capes. Dinosaurs do not walk the earth. Sharks do not terrorize idyllic summer beaches. And Jedi do not return. Without the magic of John Williams, audiences do not wonder, or weep, or believe.”

Maestro of the Movies: A Tribute to John Williams is the ultimate concert celebration of the man who truly has composed the soundtrack to our lives. With selections from his most iconic scores – Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, Superman, Lincoln and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial – Maestro of the Movies also features specially edited scenes and clips from John Williams’ best-loved films, projected in HD and in sync to his spectacular music. The concert is a loving tribute to the greatest musical storyteller of our time!

Excerpts from the films are projected onto a large screen in the concert hall, and the music is performed live by the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Anthony Gabriele.  The film concert continues the TPO in Cinema series, in which the most famous works of cinema are brought to life by a symphony orchestra. The concert is presented by actor Ernest Lawson.

The film concert lasts approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes, including an interval. The film scenes are subtitled in Finnish and Swedish. The age ratings for the films are up to K13.
