John Williams receives standing ovation as he debuts his first piano concerto
‘He may be 93 and these days using a wheelchair, but there’s absolutely no stopping the maestro John Williams as he debuted a new, 20-minute concerto for piano and orchestra at Tanglewood in Lenox, Massachusetts on 26th July, performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Written for pianist Emanuel Ax and conducted by Andris Nelsons, the end of the concert saw Williams brought onto the stage for a rapturous ovation (the video of which you can see here), bringing two years of collaboration between Williams and Ax to a triumphant conclusion.’
