Symphonic John Williams tribute coming to Vancouver
The Vancouver Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra is bringing some of the biggest movie soundtracks to life, with a John Williams Tribute on May 7.
John William’s scores are intrinsically tied to so many of the biggest movies of our generation. As the legendary composer turns 85, it’s a fitting time to look back on his 100+ film score legacy.
