Join us as we enter the Magical, Mystical World of this great American Composer. From a land far, far away, John Williams brings to Earth the soundtracks  from movies that are classics in our culture. Our first pops concert of the season will take you on a cinematic trip from Jurassic Park, to the epic descriptions from Schindler’s List, back up to the galaxies of our space frontier through the music of Star Wars and then back into the time of Hogwarts and Harry Potter.
