# John Williams

> He wrote the fanfare you hear in your head when something grand happens. Over seven decades, John Williams turned film scores into the sound of collective memory — the shark's approach, the stars scrolling, the bike across the moon — blending romantic sweep with complex orchestration that made blockbusters feel like symphonies.

*American composer and conductor (born 1932)*

## Bio

Born February 8, 1932, Williams spent his early years scoring films like Valley of the Dolls and The Towering Inferno before a 1974 collaboration with a young Steven Spielberg on The Sugarland Express began a partnership that would define both careers. He won his first Oscar for Fiddler on the Roof in 1971, then claimed four more for Jaws, Star Wars, E.T., and Schindler's List. Beyond Spielberg and George Lucas, he composed for Hitchcock, Eastwood, Columbus, and Cuarón, and scored Superman, Home Alone, and the first three Harry Potter films. He conducted the Boston Pops from 1980 to 1993, wrote classical concertos, and at 91 became the oldest Academy Award nominee in history — his 54 nominations trailing only Walt Disney. In 2022, Queen Elizabeth II awarded him an honorary knighthood for services to film music.
