The Brazilian Symphony Orchestra (OSB) presents on the 26th and 27th the concert "Film Music – John Williams", one of the most popular programs in its repertoire. The event takes place at the Teatro Odylo Costa Filho, at UERJ, in Rio de Janeiro, under the baton of maestro Matheus Carneiro.

The concert includes soundtracks from great cinema classics, such as "ET – The Extraterrestrial", "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Jurassic Park", "Jaws", "Superman", and "Star Wars", all composed by John Williams.

John Williams is described in the article as the most acclaimed and popular soundtrack composer in Hollywood still active. Steven Spielberg paid him a tribute at the American Film Institute, stating that without Williams, dinosaurs would not walk the Earth and the Force would not exist.

Why this matters

Readers in Rio de Janeiro have the opportunity to attend one of the OSB's most popular programs, with performances of music from films known worldwide. The event offers access to classical culture at affordable prices, bringing audiences closer to compositions that have marked generations through cinema.
