This was a pleasing orchestra concert featuring the movie music of John Williams. Most exciting was the "Main Title" from Star Wars; but there were many other fun songs: "The Shark Theme" from Jaws, "The Superman March," "Hymn to the Fallen" from Saving Private Ryan. A special number was "The Theme"from Schindler's List as the concert master, Susana Perry Gilmore played the violin solo. She also played the violin solo from Fiddler on the Roof. This is not original music to John William, but Williams arranged the music for the movie. Résonance Festival Choir had a special part on several of the songs including "Double Trouble" from The Prisoner of Azkaban and "Dry Your Tears, Afrika" from Amistad. Overall this concert was very fun. The orchestra was directed by Ernest Richardson. He was also the narrator and would provide tidbits about the music, which won the Oscar and which did not. John Williams has a very large portfolio, and the orchestra performed it very well. There were several Harry Potter songs, and Star Wars songs.
