John Williams became Boston Pops Laureate Conductor as of January 1994 and is also serving as Music Adviser for the 1994 season. In January 1980 he was named nineteenth conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra since its founding in 1885. Born in New York, Mr. Williams attended UCLA, studied composi- tion privately with Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, and attended the Juilliard School, where he studied piano with Madame Rosina Lhevinne. He worked as a jazz pianist before beginning his career in the film studios, where he worked with such composers as Bernard Herrmann, Alfred Newman, and Franz Waxman. He went on to write music for many television pro- grams in the 1960s, winning two Emmy awards for his work.

John Williams has composed the music and served as music director for more than seventy-five films, including Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, 2, Far and Away, JFK, Hook, Home Alone, Presumed Innocent, Born on the Fourth ofJuly, the three Indiana Jones films, Always, Stanley and Iris, The Accidental Tourist, Empire of the Sun, The

Witches ofEastwick, the trilogy, E.T (the E^tra-Terrestrial) , Superman, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, , and Goodbye, Mr. Chips. He has received thirty Academy Award nominations and has been awarded five Oscars and fifteen Grammies, as well as several gold and platinum records. This year Mr. Williams won the Oscar for his score to Steven Spielberg's film Schindler's List.

In addition to his film music, Mr. Williams has written many concert pieces, including two symphonies and a flute concerto and violin concerto recorded by the London Sym- phony Orchestra. Recent works include music for the 1992 Summer Olympics and a bassoon concerto, commissioned for New York Philharmonic principal bassoonist Judy LeClair.

The soundtrack album to Star Wars has sold more than four million copies, more than any non-pop album in recording history. Many of Mr Williams' film scores have been recorded, and he has led a series of highly acclaimed albums with the Boston Pops Orchestra for Sony Classical and Philips Records. Among their most recent record- ings, all on Sony Classical, are The Green Album, a new Christmas album entitled Joy to the World, an album of favorite Pops encores entitled Unforgettable, a tribute to Frank Sinatra entitled Night and Day, and Musicfor Stage and Screen featuring works by Aaron Copland and John Williams.

Mr. Williams has led the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra on United States tours in 1985, 1989, and 1992, and on a tour of Japan in November 1987. He led the Boston Pops Orchestra on tours of Japan in 1990 and 1993. Mr. Williams has appeared as guest con- ductor with a number of major orchestras, including the London Symphony the Cleve- land Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, with which he has appeared many times at the Hollywood Bowl. He has been awarded hon- orary degrees from many American colleges and universities. — ——.
