Festival Ljubljana: An evening of music by John Williams
Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Nayden Todorov - Križanke
Program Info: Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra National Choir Of Sofia Philharmonic Nayden Todorov, conductor
Over the course of his long career, John Williams has created some of the most popular and recognisable film music in the history of cinema. Although skilled in a variety of compositional techniques, he is essentially a Romantic composer, often combining traditional musical expression with avant-garde and popular music. His talent for expressing the dramatic essence of a film has led to his work on productions such as the Indiana Jones franchise, Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, JFK and Saving Private Ryan. He has received numerous awards for his work, including 26 Grammy Awards, five Academy Awards, three Emmy Awards and four Golden Globe Awards. With 54 Oscar nominations, he is the most nominated composer and second most nominated person in Academy Awards history, behind Walt Disney. His music will be performed by the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra and National Choir of Sofia Philharmonic, conducted by Nayden Todorov, a big fan of the Star Wars saga, who is known for his versatility and vibrant interpretations and who trained with Uroš Lajovic, among other conductors. He has been working with the Sofia Philharmonic, founded in 1892 and one of the leading institutions in Bulgarian musical life, since 2001 and was appointed director in 2017.
