Symphony Saturday — The Music of John Williams

Jeff Tyzik, Conductor
Jessica Lee, Violin
Oregon Symphony

A night of beloved music by John Williams - we started with Indiana Jones, “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” and ended with “Superman March,” from Superman.

It was really lovely to focus solely on the music, without it being mere accompaniment to advance the storyline.

Did you know that there is a harp performing in the first part of “The Shark Theme” from Jaws? I didn’t either until tonight.

Williams composed a musical love story of Luke and Leia from “Star Wars Episode IV - New Hope.” Lucas didn’t inform Williams until after “ A New Hope” that Luke and Leia were actually brother and sister until after the fact. The music for the pair is still beautiful, but more appropriate for a brother and sister.

The second-to-last song was the “Theme from Schindler’s List,” with Concertmaster Jessica Lee, on violin. Lee’s performance was absolutely gorgeous. Ten out of ten, highly recommend.

I love that the photo I caught of the orchestra and Tyzik, the Conductor, gesturing the message of, “this symphony is incredible - nobody does it better than these musicians before you.”

Yeah, we’re pretty lucky to have caliber and passion for music than with this body of professional musicians. So lucky are we.

Ultimate Linearity.

Linn's flagship 360 speakers now feature their first-ever in-house drive units — developed from first principles over three years and built around Linn's new and unique Pistonik motor system.

With Pistonik, these new 6" upper bass and 8" woofer units deliver deeper, cleaner, more controlled bass, with total accuracy — and the widest truly linear excursion of any low-frequency drive units ever.

On demonstration at Pearl Audio are Linn's new Pistonik drive units.
