Legendary composer John Williams has had a giant impact on the American orchestral landscape. He created the music for some of American cinema's most significant, groundbreaking films, including Star Wars, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, and Harry Potter. Nearly all of Steven Spielberg’s films feature music by Williams, who also composed music for the Summer Olympics, NBC News, and a multitude of TV shows. Billions of people around the world have enjoyed the music he has written.
At our Pops Concert on June 7, we'll be celebrating Williams' critically acclaimed body of work— while also honoring his role in supporting musicians, bringing powerful orchestral works to millions of moviegoers, and inspiring generations of viewers with a lifelong love of music.
All are welcome to the 5 PM street party before the concert—no concert tickets required. We’ll enjoy tasty bites from local food truck favorites and Brazilian-influenced music by Samba Cruz. Get ready to dance!
Want to make the party even more fun? Wear a costume from a movie featuring the music of John Williams, and you’ll be entered into our costume contest! We’ll award prizes for the best adult costume, best child costume, and best couples costume at the concert.
