A Note from John Williams

Ever since Home Alone appeared, it has held a unique place in the affections of a very broad public.  Director Chris Columbus brought a uniquely fresh and innocent approach to this delightful story, and the film has deservedly become a perennial at Holiday time. 

I took great pleasure in composing the score for the film, and I am especially delighted that the magnificent has agreed to perform the music in a live presentation of the movie.  

I know I speak for everyone connected with the making of the film in saying that we are greatly honored by this event…  and I hope that tonight’s audience will experience the renewal of joy that the film brings with it, each and every year.
