See the Maestros of the Movies this Monday

Think of the movies you love most: does the list include Star Wars? Jurassic Park? Jaws? Or how about any of these other flicks?

John Williams is one of the most prolific cinematic composers ever, even though many people don’t connect his music with his name. Still, someone had to write the iconic theme songs that we all remember today—and with a great local symphony here in the Bay Area, this has the makings of a great event: This coming Monday, September 16, Joh Williams will conduct the San Francisco Symphony as they play the iconic scores that he wrote for films like E.T., Schindler’s List, and Jaws.

And, there’s a special guest! The event will be hosted by Steven Spielberg. Here’s the official release from the San Francisco Symphony:
