The London Symphony Orchestra's performance (4/28) of "The Music Of Hollywood" was a special event for Nashville, marking the first time the world-famous LSO has appeared in Music City. Jeff Bown Productions presented the concert at the Gaylord Entertainment Center. BMI was a sponsor of the evening, which featured the music of composers Jerry Goldsmith ("Star Trek:The Motion Picture," "Mulan," "The Last Castle"), John Williams ("Star Wars," "E.T.", "Indiana Jones" theme), John Barry ("Out Of Africa," "James Bond" theme), Bernard Herrmann ("North By Northwest") and Maurice Jarre ("Lawrence of Arabia"), among others. A highlight of the program, conducted by Maestro Kenneth Schermerhorn of the Nashville Symphony, was Williams's music from "Schindler's List," featuring LSO concertmaster Gordon Nikolitch on the violin.
