The CAPe in Ettelbruck will host a Tribute to John Williams on Saturday 23 March 2024 at 20:00, featuring the National Orchestra of Metz Grand Est.
The tribute to the great Hollywood composer will be directed by David Reiland, with Vincent David on saxophone.
The tribute will include, amongst others, his legendary music for the films Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park and E.T.
The great maestro Williams is not only a composer and pianist, but also a passionate brass player who often highlights this family of instruments at the heart of his works. For two pieces by Debussy and Milhaud at the start of the concert, it is however the saxophone which takes centre stage.
Tickets cost €36 (youth €18).

No experience required.
