Smith Center featuring our choir-in-residence, The Las Vegas Master Singers. Patrons are encouraged to come early and

Music Director Donato
Cabrera will host a pre-concert conversation at
6:30 p.m. on Saturday evening and at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon for patrons
to learn more about John Williams and the music behind these iconic films.
The orchestra will perform selections from 10 films,
including Jaws, Superman, Harry Potter and
the Sorcerer’s Stone, Schindler’s
List, Universal Picture E.T. (The
Extra-Terrestrial), The Cowboys, Saving Private Ryan, and Star Wars Episodes I, III, and IV. The Las Vegas Master Singers, under the
direction of David Weiller, will accompany the orchestra on the Hymn to the Fallen from Saving Private Ryan, Battle of the Heroes from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
and Duel of the Fates from The Phantom
Menace: Suite for Orchestra.
The concert will open with the Olympic Fanfare and Theme, commissioned by the Los Angeles Olympic
Organizing Committee and premiered by Williams for the Summer Games in 1984. Next, the orchestra will perform the Suite from the 1975 suspense thriller, Jaws followed by selections based on two
of our favorite fictional heroes - the Superman
March from Superman and Harry’s Wondrous World from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. On a
more somber note, the Philharmonic presents the Theme from Schindler’s List
and Hymn to the Fallen from Saving Private Ryan followed by the
award-winning Adventures on Earth
from the Universal Picture E.T. and
the Overture from The Cowboys.
To conclude the program, the Philharmonic performs several
works from the Star Wars franchise including Princess
Leia's Theme from Star Wars Suite, Battle
of the Heroes from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Duel of
the Fates from The Phantom Menace: Suite for Orchestra, Main Title
from Star Wars Suite and Imperial
March from Star Wars Suite. The music from the original 1977 film won an Academy, Golden Globe,
BAFTA and Grammy award, establishing Williams as one of
Hollywood’s and America’s leading composers.
