The Best of Ennio Morricone

He received his last Oscar in February 2016 for Tarantino’s »The Hateful 8«. Morricone made himself immortal almost 50 years ago with his music for »The Song of Death«. His compositions for the Italo-Western classic »Two Glorious Scoundrels«, Roland Joffé’s drama »Mission« and Giuseppe Tornatore’s film »Cinema Paradiso« became particularly well known. His fans can experience Morricone’s unforgettable works live in selected cities. Star guest Marc Breitfelder is one of the best harmonica players in the world. The large ensemble of soloists, orchestra and choir of the Milano Festival Opera will also be on stage to bring Morricone’s captivating music to life. The technically sophisticated screen animation with the original film scenes intensifies the gripping atmosphere and creates the famous goosebump effect that nobody can resist.

The Best of Hans Zimmer

Powerful. Beautiful. Breathtaking. This is how the music of two-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer can be described. His most famous melodies, from the heroic power of »Gladiator« to the deeply moving harmonies of »The Lion King«, from the melancholy»Rain Man« to the nerve-wracking»Inception«, impressively demonstrate Zimmer’s gift for taking listeners straight to the heart of film stories. Zimmer’s sense of epic storytelling and his keen sense of the emotional depth of each scene have secured him a permanent place in the hearts of music lovers and filmgoers. His music is far more than a collection of beautiful melodies – it is a universal language that touches, inspires and connects. »The Best of Hans Zimmer in Concert« is a tribute to the masterful film composer, whose work is synonymous with emotion and goosebumps. The ensemble of soloists, choir and large orchestra of the Cinema Festival Symphonics masterfully interprets the world of unforgettable compositions that have been making cinemas tremble and hearts beat faster for years. From the imposing intensity of »Pirates of the Caribbean« to the futuristic soundscape of »Inception«, the large orchestra, soloists and choir offer an unmissable experience for fans of film music. Epic and dramatic, when the first notes of »The Dark Night« fill the room. Excitement and action flow through the hall when the powerful sounds of»Mission Impossible« captivate the audience. Every note that resonates through the concert hall immerses the guests in worlds of film music. The epic and dramatic compositions are enhanced by a breathtaking backdrop of synchronised screen animations and lighting effects.

The Music of Queen

The exceptional artist Freddie Mercury died far too early at the age of 45. He celebrated mega successes with his band Queen. Their hits are immortal and continue to inspire young and old with their repertoire of rock, pop, classical, ballads, disco and RnB songs. Thanks to the film »Bohemian Rhapsody« (2018), numerous documentaries and concerts by the exceptional band, Queen remains unforgotten among their huge fan base to this day. The Music of Queen is probably the best and most authentic Queen tribute show currently available. The charismatic frontman Valentin L. Findling and his first-class live band present the world hits of Queen. He embodies Freddie Mercury in a breathtaking and energetic way like no other. He has the voice, the look and the moves. His live band has played with greats such as Earl Harvin, Peter Schilling, Sandy, as support for Eric Clapton, Paul Young, and many more. The songs offer a sweeping tour of the entire Queen repertoire with all the hit classics of the British cult band.
