Monday Musicale with the Maestro – May 4, 2020 – May the 4th be with you! John Williams’ “Princess Leia’s Theme”
May the 4th be with you!
This week Maestro Curry has chosen a perfectly themed selection from the DSO archive that features local Durham Public School youth playing side by side with orchestra.
Maestro William Henry Curry’s introductory comments for this week:
“On April 19, 2015 the Durham Symphony performed a well-received concert titled “Music from the Movies.”
The selections included classical works that were used in films and music written specifically for that film. In the 1980’s, I had the good fortune of working with my favorite film composer of our time, John Williams. Here is his beautiful Princess Leia’s theme from the 1977 movie “Star Wars – A New Hope”. On this selection we were joined by a group of talented Durham Public School students.”
Enjoy & Be well!
William Henry Curry
Music Director, Durham Symphony Orchestra
