Movie Magic: The Best of John Williams
New Zealand Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gemma New - Dunedin Town Hall


Program Info:
Our Immerse Festival wraps up with a concert for the whole family, celebrating the life and music of the legendary film composer, John Williams.

His iconic collaborations with Stephen Spielberg have led to some of the most recognisable music ever written. From the first ‘ting’ of Hedwig’s Theme from the Harry Potter movies to the sinister trombones in the Shark Theme from Jaws, be wowed as NZSO takes you on a tour of John Williams’s best works.

And what John Williams concert would be complete without hearing the music of Star Wars? Voted by the American Film Institute as the best film score of all time, its phenomenally popular tunes redefined the scope of film music, and have continuously enthralled and delighted listeners, young and old alike.
