The Trial of the Chicago 7, Napoleon, Promising Young Woman, The Whale – who are the people behind the music for the most thrilling releases of the past few years? The International Gala will serve a unique opportunity to discover works by outstanding composers of the middle generation. Daniel Pemberton, Martin Phipps, Rob Simonsen and Anthony Willis are already enjoying well-deserved respect in the industry. It is time for their scores to delight the FMF audiences, thanks to excellent performances by Sinfonietta Cracovia.
One of the highlights of the upcoming FMF will be an international gala showcasing some of the most outstanding personalities of the film music world: Daniel Pemberton and Martin Phipps from the United Kingdom, Rob Simonsen from the United States and Anthony Willis from Australia. Each of them is an established composer with an impressive portfolio and an ability to create unique musical worlds.
The listeners will have the opportunity to dive into the monumental flute part from Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale, the haunting themes from Saltburn and Promising Young Woman, the royal sounds heard on the score to the award-winning Napoleon, and a poignant song from Trial of the Chicago 7. The dynamic score to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse filled to the brim with electronic effects is sure to provide all listeners with some thrills. Celebrating Elliot Goldenthal’s 70th birthday, we will also recall the Grand Gothic Suite, whose premiere at the FMF in 2014 won the hearts of fans. The quality of the performance will be ensured by Sinfonietta Cracovia and its musicians led by Dirk Brossé – a conductor who already made a name for himself among the attendees of the previous FMF editions.
