For the 2014/15 Opening Night Concert and Gala, the Los Angeles Philharmonic paid loving tribute to composer John Williams, long a champion and close friend of the LA Phil. Gustavo Dudamel, an awestruck fan of the musical icon, led the orchestra in a cross-section of Maestro Williams’ matchless canon. This concert concert features Itzhak Perlman with a very special musical performance of pieces from Schindler’s List as well as the Cadenza and variations form Fiddler on the Roof. Jazz-elements will fill the air during Escapades from Catch Me if You Can, and may the force be with you during the iconic tunes from Star Wars.
