The sweeping soundscapes of cinema grace Boston Symphony Hall in January, as Andris Nelsons conducts the Boston Symphony Orchestra through a program of works by movie-music royalty John Williams! Joined by the talents of Grammy-winning pianist Emanuel Ax and fellow Grammy winner and violin virtuoso, Gil Shaham, don't miss this feast for the ears.

Known worldwide for his film compositions, in some sense the entire experience of watching some of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters is defined by his grand compositions. This concert features music from Schindler's List, Catch Me If You Can and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, as well as his non-screen composition TreeSong for Violin and Orchestra, showcasingWilliams' stellar work beyond the movies.
