CINEMA – Music from the Movies
CINEMA – A Film Music Concert in the Sound of the Organ Great cinema is unimaginable without great music. Today, this music has long outgrown its role as a film soundtrack. It is performed on the world's leading concert stages and has become a modern classical repertoire for audiences around the globe. The CINEMA programme features masterpieces by some of the greatest film composers of the 20th and 21st centuries, including Ennio Morricone (The Professional, The Mission), Nino Rota (The Godfather), John Williams (Schindler's List, Fiddler on the Roof), Raimonds Pauls (The Long Road in the Dunes), together with other iconic works that have become timeless classics of world cinema. The music will be performed by organ, violin, cello and percussion. In this unique ensemble, the organ not only shines as a solo instrument but also forms the foundation of the entire musical texture, creating the rich and powerful sound of a full orchestra. The historic interior of St. Paul's Church, enhanced by atmospheric lighting and visual design, invites you to experience this extraordinary music in a new way — music that has long transcended the cinema screen and found a vibrant new life in the concert hall. Concert duration: approximately 1 hour 20 minutes. * Musicians are located in the stalls, near the altar.
