There can be few artists and locations so connected as John Williams and the Hollywood Bowl, and the maestro returns on Friday 30th August for a night of his music with conductor David Newman and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and there are plenty of tracks from a galaxy far, far away including the theme from Galaxy’s Edge.
John Williams’ history with the Hollywood Bowl is legendary.
