Maestro of the Movies: A Tribute
to John Williams

WORLD PREMIERE AUGUST 2O26

In the words of Steven Spielberg, “without John Williams, bicycles do not fly, nor do brooms in Quidditch matches or heroes in red capes. Dinosaurs do not walk the earth. Sharks do not terrorize idyllic summer beaches. And Jedi do not return. Without the magic of John Williams, audiences do not wonder, or weep, or believe…”
