The Music of John Williams

The Music of John Williams

RSNO

Glasgow Royal Concert Hall
Sat 9 May 2026

7.30pm

No one writes a movie theme like John Williams. It’s no wonder he’s the world’s most popular film composer. Join Hollywood conductor Richard Kaufman and the full might of Scotland’s National Orchestra for hit after hit. From Schindler’s ListE.T. and Superman to the music of Harry Potter, we’ve got your favourites covered. If you think it sounds good in the cinema, wait until you hear it played live by the RSNO!

The running time of this concert is approximately 2 hours, including a 20-minute interval.

Gain insight into the music of John Williams with conductor Richard Kaufman at the pre-concert talk at 6.45pm in the Marryat Hall in Dundee and the Upper Circle Bar in Edinburgh. In Glasgow there will be a Film Composers Lab showcase including a screening of a rescored short film by participant Kim Moore and a Q&A session.
