Music of John Williams with Anne-Sophie Mutter
New Zealand Symphony Orchestra - Auckland Town Hall


Program Info:
New Zealand Symphony Orchestra
Anne-Sophie Mutter, violin

The NZSO wraps up the 2023 season with bona fide superstar Anne-Sophie Mutter and the music of one of the most entertaining and influential composers of the twentieth century: John Williams. In this very special concert, we celebrate Williams’ monumental contribution to the film music repertoire, thanks to his scores for Star Wars, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and Harry Potter.

Williams has also steadily built a collection of purely orchestral, standalone works. His most recent of these is his Second Violin Concerto, performed by its exceptional Grammy Award winning dedicatee Anne-Sophie Mutter, visiting New Zealand for the first time. She brings her “astonishing clarity, strength and tonal polish” (Sydney Morning Herald) to not only Williams’s Concerto but also to special arrangements of some of Williams’s film scores, devised especially to showcase Mutter’s once-in-a-lifetime talent.
