Additional Information
When it comes to film music, the name Ennio Morricone (1928-2020) needs no introduction. Introduced to music by his trumpeter father, Morricone composed over 500 scores for the cinema, many of them among the most iconic soundtracks in film history. Who hasn’t heard the iconic theme from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, or the lyrical lines from Once Upon a Time in the West, Cinema Paradiso or The Mission? It was only natural that his work should be featured in this latest installment of the L’univers symphonique du cinémade series, with the Orchestre FILMharmonique conducted by Francis Choinière. PAN M 360’s Alexandre Villemaire spoke to him on the eve of this tribute tour, which will make a stop in Quebec City on February 9 before concluding in Toronto on February 14.
