LA Phil

Just returning home. 

Had a great night with the family here

If you've never gone to see Bugs Bunny at the Symphony, or formerly known as, What's Opera, Doc? You don't want to miss out. It is such an enjoyable evening, your children will love it, and the backdrop of the Hollywood Bowl is just gorgeous. This philharmonic is such a group of talented musicians, there is no distinction between your childhood memories and what you are hearing onstage. With tickets starting at just $12, it is well worth it.

An Evening with John Williams

Credit:  (RTE)

I was a fan of John Williams before I knew who he was. A kid of the eighties, I, like most children of that era, was obsessed with Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Superman.  What probably made me a little different is that I was in love with the music. 

I've always loved music scores.  The first scores I remember falling in love with were "Nadia's Theme" from The Young and the Restless by Vorzon and Botkin, and Dynasty by Bill Conti.  I was too young to really comprehend what was going on during the broadcast, not that it mattered. I watched these shows with my grandmother solely to listen. 

In the world of scores, there are greats, but in my humble opinion, none compare to John Williams. The man is just a brilliant maestro.  His works are some of the most revered in not only classical music circles, but of the movie industry as well. I had the opportunity to see him conduct last year, and it was an incredible concert. Even my ten-year-old was thrilled to hear 'The real guy who made Star Wars.' The repertoire included of course, the aforementioned three, as well as themes from Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, and Lincoln.  He returns this August to the Hollywood Bowl (323)850-2000, and I wait with bated breath!
