We had a great time this past weekend studying the score of Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark by John Williams! ⁠

Here is Josh Lucan, our VP, leading the analysis of harmony during the part of the film where the booby traps go off. Full video will be available for Orchestra and Philharmonic members soon!⁠

Stay tuned for future events, and check out our memberships for full multi part in depth score studies on several John Williams scores along with hundreds of other score study videos and composer interviews.
