Orioles to host BSO and honor composer John Williams, who will throw out first pitch

Legendary composer John Williams will be a special guest of the Orioles on June 11, when they face the Boston Red Sox at Camden Yards.

A lifelong baseball fan, Williams will throw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the game, as his five-decade career in the performing arts is recognized. Members of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra’s brass and percussion sections, led by music director Marin Alsop, will perform a pregame concert of Williams’ works.

Symphony members will later accompany the Stevensville Middle School choir for the national anthem.
