  • The Music of John Williams
    Dear Friends of Our New Philharmonic, On behalf of my colleagues in the orchestra, we are hoping that you are all safe, healthy, and we certainly miss seeing you! Recent months have set out challenges that I had never before seen in my lifetime. This period, however, reminds me greatly not only of what I learned from my parents’ lives, but also of my grandparents/great grandparents’ lives and the obstacles that they overcame in their overwhelmingly hard times. These people somehow though came through it all - with courage, grit, kindness, good spirits, good hearts. I have a sign on my fridge that says: “Wallace Hartley.” It is to remind me that this violinist on the Titanic was sharing music with his fellow passengers even in The most extraordinary moment for any musician in history. The calling that each of our musicians has felt in their lives is just that - music. We may not be good at flying airplanes, fixing teeth, or playing for the Hawks, but what we look to give the world is music. This coming year we have monster-great season, opening with the astonishing music of John Williams - a concert that celebrates Mr. Williams’ 66th year of composing music for film. And, for the first time we can offer you a Holiday Pops concert that is full of praise, fun and joy. New Year’s Eve and the opera/ Broadway concerts are both BLASTS with some of your favorite singers! In April, I have programmed something that I believe has never been done anywhere in the world before.
