Behind the Blockbuster Films: The Biography of John Williams by Tim Greiving
John Williams is the most celebrated film composer alive, yet the man behind the music has remained notoriously private, famously elusive. He has composed the definitive scores for cinema's greatest visions.
Join Kerwin and biographer Tim Greiving, author of the first major Williams biography, John Williams: A Composer’s Life, for an unprecedented conversation. Greiving, granted rare access to Williams and his closest collaborators, takes us beyond the blockbuster themes to explore the deeper truths, tensions, and artistic evolution that fueled this unprecedented career.
The interview explores the central duality of the Maestro’s legacy: the lifelong tension between the demands of Hollywood and his profound aspirations as a serious concert composer. Discover the personal drive and the professional sacrifices required to bridge the perceived chasm between film music and the classical concert hall, and why his success in legitimizing the art form was a battle won where other contemporaries failed.
