The Best of Ennio Morricone - His Finest Works — Candlelight Concert

The great melodies of cinema, the soft glow of candles, and a magical atmosphere. You are invited to an evening dedicated to Ennio Morricone, the composer whose works became an inseparable part of the films and stories we love. On stage, musicians of the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra will perform unforgettable pieces from the films "The Legend of 1900," "The Professional," "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," "Malèna," "Cinema Paradiso," and "Once Upon a Time in America." Ennio Morricone was one of the greatest composers in the history of cinema, winning two Academy Awards and three Golden Globe Awards. His music manages to tell the most important stories even without words. A few notes are enough to bring us back to a moving encounter, a farewell, a first love, or a moment that changed everything. Imagine the famous piece "Chi Mai" from the film "The Professional," to the flicker of candlelight. The delicate blend of string instruments and grand piano in pieces from "The Legend of 1900." And the heart-touching melancholy of "Cinema Paradiso," which brings us back to childhood memories and a love of cinema. In a live performance, the familiar melodies will be revealed in a range of colors — from delicate, emotion-filled sounds to a rich and powerful orchestral sound. You can close your eyes and return to your favorite film scenes, or find your own personal story within the music. Flickering candles, string instruments, a grand piano, and Morricone's immortal music. A moving musical evening that's a joy to share with your loved ones. On stage: musicians of the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra. On piano — Georgy Kantor, pianist and winner of international competitions. In his playing, classical, neo-classical, and contemporary music meet, and the academic tradition receives a fresh interpretation of well-known and beloved works.
