Just as a little follow up to last nights performance, there were also several notable encores performed, including, in the first encore, the main theme from
Sugarland Express, Williams' first collaboration with Steven Spielberg, as well as a film montage of various Olympics' set to score that Williams wrote. The second encore was a full performance of the NBC Nightly News theme, entitled "The Mission".
Also, the second half was actually a collaborative juncture with
Stanley Donen, which consisted of a number of clips from his films aired in conjunction with the orchestra performing the scores.
It was an amazing performance overall, and I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable evening.
