Synopsis

For the 2014/15 Opening Night Concert and Gala, the Los Angeles Philharmonic paid loving tribute to composer John Williams, long a champion and close friend of the LA Phil. Gustavo Dudamel, an awestruck fan of the musical icon, led the orchestra in a crosssection of Maestro Williams’ matchless canon, including Star Wars, Jaws, Schindler´s List, Catch Me If You Can, Amistad and Fiddler On The Roof. Also featuring very special musical performances by Itzhak Perlman.
