On a night meant to honor cinematic legend John Williams, it was a quiet folk melody that stole every heart — until the maestro himself changed everything. As James Taylor gently strummed “Sweet Baby James,” seated beside the ever-graceful Yo-Yo Ma, who added soulful swells to each verse, the moment already felt timeless. Then, as if summoned by the music itself, John Williams slowly stepped onto the stage. In a gesture that caught even the orchestra off guard, he reached out, took Taylor’s hand, and pulled him into an embrace — like two old friends reuniting after decades apart.
