The concerts begin tonight and run through Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Williams, who is 86, will be conducing the second half of the program. <a href=\"http:\/\/culturalattache.co\/2018\/07\/19\/just-thought-safe-go-back-bowl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Newman<\/a>, who has conducted Williams&#8217; scores for\u00a0<em>Jaws<\/em>, and two\u00a0<em>Star Wars<\/em> movies earlier this season, will be on the podium for the first half. Steven Spielberg will be joining for all three nights as well.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pIjUyiG5qKA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>That is fitting as Williams has scored countless movies for him. Their collaboration goes back to 1974&#8217;s\u00a0<em>The Sugarland Express<\/em> and includes such films as\u00a0<em>1941<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Always<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Hook<\/em>,\u00a0<em>A.I.: Artificial Intelligence<\/em>,\u00a0<em>War Horse<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Lincoln<\/em>.

I assure you that when the inevitable piece or pieces from any of the\u00a0<em>Star Wars<\/em> films get performed, there will be hundreds of light sabres lighting up the Bowl.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6YP3dLc1Vso\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Today it was announced that Williams and his wife, Samantha, have made a contribution to the LA Philharmonic&#8217;s Centennial Campaign.
