John Williams Tribute

A tribute to John Williams with works by Gershwin and Bernstein and a selection of his film scores, with Mario Prisuelos on piano and Yunmao Kang on violin.

This tribute to John Williams, the composer of film music, brings together works from the American musical tradition in a single programme. It features George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and Leonard Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story.

The programme also includes a selection of scores by John Williams. Mario Prisuelos performs the piano part and Yunmao Kang the violin part. It is a tribute: Williams does not take part as a performer but as the composer of the scores heard.

The Auditorio Nacional de Madrid is a venue devoted mainly to classical music and the home of the Orquesta Nacional de España and the Coro Nacional de España.
