How lucky Gustavo Dudamel is that a living legend, Maestro John Williams conducted Happy Birthday for him on his birthday.

[@anacletwilliams8315]

Yes, he did, Luke.

[@rifcafcaf2391]

John Williams is also lucky

[@nataliepeters9777]

And Williams didn´t copy from anyone here.
Good for society.

The French horn part towards the end....lord have mercy 😁💥

[@PianoKwanMan]

That suspension! It would be so hard not to correct it

[@JanRademan]

John Williams could score the telephone book and make it epic.

Nacido en Barquisimeto, Venezuela. Me siento orgulloso de ser Nicaragüense porque Gustavo Dudamel está haciendo historia. Es todo un orgullo latinoamericano.

That is so extra I wouldn't even know what to do i would stand there in awe

[@edwardjohn5]

Did Mr. Williams also compose the orchestration? Sounds like his music.. I can't 😭

[@kwabzycomposer]

What we heard was part of John Williams’s piece “Happy Birthday Variations” and yes he wrote everything including orchestration.

[@batboy5023]
