Stars & stripes Forever

University of Northern Colorado

As an Air Force veteran, Oscar winner, and honorary knight, John Williams is much more than a run-of-the-mill composer. With 124 film scores and a 50-year partnership with Steve Spielberg, Williams is one of Hollywood’s most iconic figures. Be transported to galaxies far, far away with music from blockbuster movies such as Indiana Jones, Jaws, and Star Wars with your Greeley Philharmonic!

A Night with John Williams

In collaboration with the University of Northern Colorado choirs, your Greeley Philharmonic brings you a night of masterful works. Be immersed in a daring prison escape with Beethoven’s Fidelio Overture. Ravel’s orchestration of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition brings Viktor Hartmann’s artwork to life. In the second half, the choir and orchestra combine with Vaughan Williams’ “Serenade to Music,” which pays homage to Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. To end your Greeley Philharmonic’s 114th season, the combined ensemble performs Bernstein’s Hebrew Chichester Psalms. You don’t want to miss the season finale!
