John Williams
Few names in music are as instantly recognisable as John Williams — the American composer behind Star Wars, Harry Potter and Jurassic Park. Hear his themes performed live.
Born in 1932, John Williams is the most Oscar-nominated living person — five Academy Awards across a career that shaped Hollywood. His scores for Jaws, E.T., Indiana Jones, Schindler's List and the first Harry Potter films turned the orchestral soundtrack into the defining popular music of its age. Williams is a master of the unforgettable melody: the soaring main themes, the menacing two-note shark motif, Hedwig's shimmering celesta. Performed live, every brass fanfare and string line fills the room with cinematic sweep.
