\nCol. Jason K. Fettig, conducting; John Williams, guest conducting<\/p>\n

John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, DC<\/a><\/p>\n

The Marine Band\u2019s 225th anniversary celebration continues with an extraordinary concert at the Kennedy Center, conducted in part by Maestro John Williams. The composer, who turns 91-years-old this year, is best known for his instantly-recognizable scores to the Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Harry Potter films, as well as Jaws, E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and many others. Williams first conducted the Marine Band in concert at the Kennedy Center in 2003, commemorating the band\u2019s 205th birthday. That historic occasion marked the beginning of a long friendship between Williams and \u201cThe President\u2019s Own\u201d including additional guest appearances on the podium in 2008 and 2019, as well as the 2021 Marine Band album release of \u201cJohn Williams and \u2018The President\u2019s Own.\u2019\u201d In this concert, the Marine Band pulls out all the stops, enthusiastic to perform an exciting lineup of Williams\u2019 work, once again under the direction of the composer himself.<\/p>\n

Free tickets required. Ticket information will be released in late spring.<\/p>\n
