Music as Cinema

Performers:
Alytus music school symphony orchestra SVAJONĖ
(leader Daiva Martikonytė)
Conductor VYTAUTAS KIMINIUS

Programme:
Soundtracks from: Harry Potter (John Williams, arranged by Michael Story), Forrest Gump (Alan Silvestri, arranged by Calvin Custer), Mission Impossible (Lalo Schifrin, arranged by Calvin Custer), Godfather (Nino Rota, arranged by John Glenesk), Titanic (James Horner, arranged by John Moss), The Mission (Ennio Morricone Gabriel’s Oboe), Pirates of the Caribbean (Klaus Badelt, arranged by Ted Ricketts)

This concert programme features film characters who have accompanied us from our childhood to the present day. Each has its own story: in The Harry Potter Themes a magical world invites to the realm of fantasy; Forrest Gump is a musical tale of kindness, fate, and time; Mission: Impossible is all about pace, risk, adrenaline, and legend. The Godfather, though dark, is an extraordinarily beautiful portrait of family and honour; Titanic is a synthesis of romance and tragedy, framed by a heart-wrenching melody. Gabriel’s Oboe is one of the most poignant film themes ever created – a silent prayer rising above the world; Pirates of the Caribbean is a fiesta of energy, adventure, and orchestral playfulness.

Brimming over with youthful energy and enthusiasm, the musicians of Svajonė symphony orchestra invite everyone to enjoy a treasure trove of film music; after all, music knows no age, and dreams know no bounds.
