In a thrilling homage to cinema history, Jaws in Concert is set to make waves at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall on August 30, 2025. This unique event celebrates the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s iconic 1975 thriller, Jaws, by pairing the film’s screening with a live orchestral performance of John Williams’ Academy Award-winning score.
Audiences will experience the suspenseful tale of Amity Island’s infamous great white shark with heightened intensity, as the Australian Pops Orchestra, under the baton of Sarah-Grace Williams, performs the gripping soundtrack in real-time synchronization with the film.
This 65-piece ensemble promises to bring Williams’ masterful compositions to life, adding a new dimension to the cinematic classic. Given the global success of similar concerts in cities like New York, London, and Sydney, Melbourne’s iteration is anticipated to draw significant interest.
