These pieces set an emotional tone that highlights the depth and storytelling power of film music.

The program continues with the distinctive works of Ennio Morricone, whose legendary scores include Once Upon a Time in America, The Mission, Malena, and Cinema Paradiso. This segment is followed by the delicate minimalism of Yann Tiersen, presenting music from Amélie and Goodbye, Lenin. The concert then expands into the dynamic and dramatic compositions of Hans Zimmer, featuring selections from Inception, Interstellar, Pearl Harbor, The Gladiator, and Pirates of the Caribbean.
