Maestro of the Movies: A Tribute to John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl
Four notes. That is all it takes — four notes and a grown adult is quietly wrecked in a grocery store aisle. Now put those four notes in front of a full orchestra, under an open sky, with seventeen thousand people getting the same goosebumps at the same instant.
David Newman conducts the LA Phil through the scores that raised most of us — Star Wars, E.T., Indiana Jones, Jaws, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park — with the film clips running on the screen above the players. Williams himself does not conduct in person anymore. It turns out the music never needed him standing there; it does this entirely on its own.
Three nights at the Bowl, picnic boxes and wine and the long ritual of finding your seat as the sun drops behind the hills. The Sunday show is historically the easiest ticket.
Bring the person who has somehow never been to the Bowl. Watch their face on the first downbeat.

They named the Hollywood Bowl stage after John Williams. Not a plaque — the stage. The LA Phil plays his scores Sep 4-6: Jaws, Star Wars, Indiana Jones. His name is literally under their feet. I don'…
