The West Michigan Symphony will perform a spirited tribute to the music of John Williams conducted by music director Scott Speck for its first of three Pops Series concerts of the 2010-11 season on Friday, Oct. 29 and Saturday, Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m.
Laced with the heavy effervescence for which Williams' music is known, "Salute to John Williams: The Soundtrack of our Lives" will feature a medley of selections guaranteed to pack a punch as powerful and evocative as Williams' familiar film scores.
Star Wars fans will especially take particular delight in the concert, half of which will be devoted to music from all six episodes of the blockbuster intergalactic saga.
In addition to selections from Star Wars, other program highlights will include excerpts from classics such as, Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler's List, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, and Superman.
All WMS concerts take place in the historic Frauenthal Center for Performing Arts in downtown Muskegon. Season tickets are on sale now, with prices ranging from $80-280 for the Full series (eight concerts), $50-175 for the Masterworks series (five classical concerts), and $30-105 for the Pops series (three concerts).
