OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION

Join conductor Frank Strobel and the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra for an electrifying journey through the musical world of cinema’s greatest heroes and most notorious villains. This concert celebrates the iconic scores that have defined heroism and villainy on the silver screen.

 

The first half showcases legendary themes of the American West, where heroes and outlaws clash. Experience the bold heroism of “The Magnificent Seven,” and the modern reimagining of the genre in “Django Unchained.”

In the second half, we delve deeper into the duality of heroes and villains. “Spider-Man” swings into action, and a struggle against “Aliens” gives way to the adventurous spirit of “Indiana Jones”.

 

This programme offers a thrilling exploration of how music shapes our perception of heroes and villains, bringing the epic conflicts and moral complexities of cinema to life through the power of a live orchestra.
