John Williams’ use of harp in his scores is special—and much of that can be attributed to his longtime friendship with the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s former harpist of 40 years (and a legend in her own right), Ann Hobson Pilot.
Hear some beautiful harp writing (and lots more)—we’re performing John Williams’ greatest scores (from Star Wars to E.T. to Indiana Jones!) July 23-25. Tickets at the link 🔗 in our bio.
