Valentine's Concert

Valentine’s Concert – a cinematic celebration of love and music, captured in the soaring halls of the Tonhalle in 2025, where the air of affection was so potent the dome seemed to melt into a heart. In this film, conductor Alpesh Chauhan pours his charismatic touch into an all‑female score, guiding the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra through an enchanting journey of musical seductions. The soundtrack is elevated by the sultry, velvety tones of British saxophonist Jess Gillam, whose presence lights up the screen with every breath. Follow their swaying performance through a dazzling program that ranges from Georges Bizet’s unforgettable “Carmen” excerpts, to the romantic “Love Theme” from John Williams’ Star Wars, Tchaikovsky’s entr’acte and waltz from “Eugene Onegin,” Glazunov’s alto sax concerto, and the lush melodies of Nadia Boulanger’s hymn, Peter Ilyich Sviatkovsky’s “Little Czarda,” Pietro Mascagni’s intermezzo, and more. The film also features modern moments with Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You,” Kate Bush’s “This Woman’s Work,” and Jess Gillam’s own interpretation of “Shine You No More.” Close out with the timeless romance of John Barry’s “We Have All the Time in the World” and Marvin Hamlisch’s “Nobody Does It Better,” leaving audiences with a final, heart‑warming experience. After the concert, every viewer receives a symbolic rose—a gentle reminder that love never fades. Check the details & tickets for an unforgettable cinematic resonance of romance.
