Asheville Bravo Concerts kicks off its 79th season with Wall to Wall Williams, a celebration of John Williams’ most beloved film scores.

John Williams had already been an established composer of Hollywood film scores for 15 years before his name became synonymous with that of director Steven Spielberg for their collaborations on blockbusters like Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T., and the Indiana Jones and Harry Potter series.  Not limited to fantasy/adventures, Williams has also lent his musical imagination to stirring dramas like Saving Private Ryan, Amistad, and Schindler’s List. 

Rachael Worby, Musical Director and Conductor for the Pasadena Pops, leads the West Virginia Festival Orchestra through this evening of selections from the most popular Williams scores. 

Wall to Wall Williams opens the 79th season of shows from Asheville Bravo Concerts, the area’s oldest arts non-profit. Season and Pick-3 Subscriptions are available now by calling (828) 225-5887.
