Music Family Weekend: Amherst Symphony Orchestra presents Works by John Williams

Friday, Nov. 3, at 8 p.m. in Buckley Recital Hall, the Amherst Symphony Orchestra presents its third concert in its yearlong survey of American music with a tribute to that cinematic giant, composer John Williams.  

Nominated for 50 Academy Awards (winner of five), and renowned for his close collaboration with director Steven Spielberg, Williams has penned and conducted-- in the studio and as former music director of the Boston Pops --perhaps the most masterful film scores of all time. The ASO will present music from Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, E.T. the Extraterrestrial, Schindler's List, Star Wars and others.

Full details of the orchestra's season can be found at http://www.amherstsymphonyorchestra.com.

Tickets may be purchased only at the door. Tickets are $10 for the general public; $5 for senior citizens, students with ID and children under 12; and free to Amherst and all Five College students with ID.
