Why do you think sharing stories is so important?
Because I cannot bear to imagine a world where the real world and my very small corner of it is all there is. Stories in whatever form – a book, a song, a piece of art – open up worlds, experiences, histories and imaginings we might never otherwise access. It’s so crucial we have the capacity to travel as far as we can in our minds and then farther still. It’s one of the most beautiful things about the human brain – the ability to imagine. Stories keep that ability alive!
Each month we will be promoting the work of a specific Composer.
Our 'Composer of the Month' for May is...
John Williams
(born February 8, 1932) is an American composer, conductor, and pianist. In a career that has spanned seven decades, he has composed some of the most popular, recognizable and critically acclaimed film scores in cinematic history
