A John Williams Celebration

Director: Michael Beyer

Conductor: Gustavo Dudamel

Special guests: Itzhak Perlman (violin), Dan Higgins (saxofon), Glenn Paulson (double bass), Michael Valeria (vibraphone)

For the 2014/15 Opening Night Concert and Gala, the Los Angeles Philharmonic paid loving tribute to composer John Williams, long a champion and close friend of the LA Phil. Gustavo Dudamel, an awestruck fan of the musical icon, led the orchestra in a crosssection of Maestro Williams’ matchless canon, including Star Wars, Jaws, Schindler´s List, Catch Me If You Can, Amistad and Fiddler On The Roof. Also featuring very special musical performances by Itzhak Perlman.
