Dynamic actor and conductor Damon Gupton is joining the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra (A2SO) for two consecutive concerts of music by one of cinema’s most iconic and influential composers—John Williams.

October’s concerts open the A2SO’s 24-25 Pops season, and early demand compelled the orchestra to add an additional matinee performance — the perfect chance to bring kids! Gupton will make his Ann Arbor debut conducting scores from some of John William’s most recognizable and moving scores, including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan, and more.
