It may seem like odd timing to drop a program about war right into the middle of the holidays, but I can’t change the timing of Pearl Harbor. Revisit some of John Williams’ music for films set during the World War II. Two of them take place in the Pacific theater (“Midway,” “None But the Brave”). One of them is a comedy, believe it or not (“1941”), set in Los Angeles. We’ll also hear a solemn hymn to those who sacrificed everything for a greater good (“Saving Private Ryan”), this Friday at 6 pm.
