Ennio Morricone's Masterpieces

Ennio Morricone’s Masterpieces invites you to relive the soaring, unforgettable soundscapes that have defined cinema for over six decades. Under the baton of Italy’s distinguished conductor Nicola Giuliani—who will guide both the Silantiev Academic Grand Concert Orchestra and the Vadim Sudakov Moscow State Capella—this evening’s program pays homage to Morricone’s nearly 500 scores for iconic films. From the dusty streets of “Once Upon a Time in America” to the blistering deserts of “Once Upon a Time in the West,” you will hear the music that shaped monsters and heroes alike, including the haunting themes of “The Professional,” “The Octopus,” “The Mission,” “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” “The Untouchables,” “The Legend of the Pianist,” “Malena,” and many others. Each piece is presented with simple, instantly memorable melodies, unusual arrangements, and the exhilarating power that made Morricone a two‑time Oscar winner, a three‑time Golden Globe laureate, the award‑winning composer of the “David di Donatello” and BAFTA titles, and a living legend whose music reverberates far beyond Rome itself. Giuliani believes that to create moments that resonate with all listeners, there must be a dialogue between the music and the visual vision of the films. This evening, that dialogue comes alive on screen—capturing the drama, romance, and raw emotion that Morricone’s scores so beautifully convey. Join us to experience the full spectrum of cinematic music, through the eyes of a master conductor and the unforgettable genius of Ennio Morricone himself. **Details & tickets.**
