The music of John Williams has been part of the pop culture. People who don't like soundtracks can recognize the Star Wars signature, the Close Encounters notes, the suspense on the Jaws theme or E.T. calling home track. He was also a conductor of the Boston Pops and from time to time, we can see his concerts conducting his music and from other composers.
 
This is a list of the appearances on TV or movies, concerts, interviews, books, article magazines and related material. I am still researching for his works so what you see here is a sample of what would be featured soon.

Note: Most of the interviews to John Williams on the DVD editions of the movies are very brief. The audio interviews are more insightful and with longer duration.
