Why see Weekend Spectacular - Maestro of the Movies?
A Sonic Celebration of the Music of John Williams
The Hollywood Bowl's Weekend Spectacular Series is almost iconic as the historic venue itself. The toast of Los Angeles' summer entertainment season, the show-stopping outdoor concerts feature the biggest and brightest names in pop, R&B, classical music and even special HD screenings of blockbuster feature films. And of course, no Weekend Spectacular would be complete without the Hollywood Bowl fireworks display - with as much thought put into the show in the sky as the one going on below, the dazzling pyrotechnics up the ante for a memorable evening you won't soon forget.
Influential composer John Williams returns to the Bowl to bring his best-loved scores to life with the help of fellow conductor David Newman and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. With a career spanning over six decades, Williams has composed some of the most popular and recognizable scores in cinematic history. Earning himself 51 Academy Award nominations, and winning 25 Grammy Awards with his incredible pieces of music, he's provided the iconic sounds of Harry Potter, Star Wars, E.T, Jurassic Park, and Indiana Jones amongst other classics!
