From Star Wars to Jurassic Park, Harry Potter to Jaws, and Indiana Jones to Home Alone, no composer has shaped the sound of the movies quite like John Williams.

With more Academy Award nominations than any other living person, John Williams' music makes for an extraordinary live experience.

Who better to celebrate the best of Williams' career than the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra? In a special concert event, the TSO and TSO Chorus, Art of the Score podcasters Andrew Pogson, Dan Golding, and conductor Leonard Weiss will take you into the musical world of Williams in a love letter to the great Maestro.

This performance does not feature any screens or film footage.
