Mari 279 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 “It’s a big weekend for composer John Williams. Not only is he conducting his annual concert at the Hollywood Bowl — “John Williams: Maestro of the Movies,” Friday and Saturday evenings with special guest narrator Julie Andrews — the Hollywood Museum is also opening a new exhibit featuring costumes, props, posters and photos from the blockbusters and classics for which he’s composed, including “Jurassic Park,” “Superman” and “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” — Hollywood Museum honors Oscar-winning composer John Williams Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 So the exhibit is honoring movies he's composed, or JW himself? Seems to me they just chose some of the most successful blockbusters and happened to notice JW scored them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlao-roo 389 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 It's interesting that Dadigan, who is the president and founder of both the Hollywood Museum and the José Iturbi Foundation, is presenting the effort as a "collaboration." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,974 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hlao-roo, you're getting soft. You had the words "John Williams" and "Hollywood Museum" laid out for you and you let them it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlao-roo 389 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yeah, I think you're right. I needed an "Indiana Jones" trigger from the press release and didn't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck 155 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I thought for a minute they're going to exhibit some pencil sketches of his scores, his batons that he used during his conducting sessions, the podium that he stood in, and most especially, the piano from which he played and wrote down all of his scores.Also all the turtleneck sweaters that he used during his career.

Pre-JAWS, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,454 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 When I read "it's a big weekend for John Williams" I thought it meant he was finally getting his Walk of Fame Star. But no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
