Orchestra of Opera North
John Wilson - conductor and presenter

Join the Orchestra of Opera North for an evening celebrating some of the most famous film music written by John Williams. Complemented by selected works from other prolific film composers, the concert will include lots of recognisable themes from classic blockbusters such as Star Wars, Jaws, ET, Schindler’s List and Harry Potter.

This evening’s conductor and presenter, John Wilson, is recognised internationally as an expert in the specialist field of music for screen and has worked with Paul McCartney and Kevin Spacey.

“John Wilson, still in his mid 30s is arguably the best in the light music
business – but boy, can he handle an orchestra well.” Blaze Media
