The unforgettable music of cinema, the soft glow of a dimly lit hall, and the gentle flicker of candles.
Join us for an evening celebrating Ennio Morricone, the legendary composer whose melodies have become an inseparable part of some of our most beloved films.
Performed by musicians from the Jerusalem Orchestra, the program features music from The Legend of 1900, The Professional, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Malèna, Cinema Paradiso, and Once Upon a Time in America.
One of the most celebrated film composers of all time, Ennio Morricone received two Academy Awards and three Golden Globe Awards. His music speaks directly to the heart, expressing what words cannot. Just a few notes can bring back a farewell, a first love, a long-awaited reunion, or a moment that changed everything.
Imagine hearing the iconic Chi Mai from The Professional, surrounded by the soft glow of candles. The delicate interplay of strings and piano in the score of The Legend of 1900. The tender melancholy of Cinema Paradiso, evoking childhood memories, nostalgia, and the timeless magic of cinema.
In live performance, these beloved melodies come alive in all their emotional depth, from the most delicate, intimate passages to the rich, sweeping sound of the orchestra. Close your eyes and let your favorite film scenes unfold in your imagination, or simply lose yourself in the music and discover a story of your own.
Candles, strings, piano, and the timeless music of Ennio Morricone. An evening to experience and share with those closest to you.
