Tuesday, March 31, 2026 at 7:30pm EST – University of Mary Washington (Fredericksburg, Va.) – I’m pleased to be part of UMW’s Great Lives series, and I’ll be presenting a lecture on the agony of 1974 and the ecstasy of 1975 in the life of John Williams. (This is open to the public and will be followed by an audience Q&A.)

• Wednesday, May 20, 2026 at 6pm CST – the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is hosting a conversation about John Williams as part of their Salon Series. I’ll be on the panel with film critic Michael Phillips, moderated by the CSO’s Jim Fahey. (I’ll also be signing books afterward.)
