How much music must a composer write to achieve immortality? Beethoven – tatata-tááá – managed it in four notes. Even more economical was John Williams: he needed only two for his iconic Jaws theme. Fortunately, he didn't stop there and went on to compose magnificent music for Star Wars, E.T., Jurassic Park and countless others. With his greatest hits, this concert is a trip down memory lane.
