Brussels Philharmonic & Gabriel Yared (piano)

Film Music Concert at Flagey: Brussels Philharmonic plays Gabriel Yared's most famous soundtracks, starring the maestro himself at the piano, under the baton of Dirk Brossé

Gabriel Yared wrote his first film score in 1975, for Miss O'Gynie et les hommes fleurs by the Belgian Samy Pavel. He followed it with many other soundtracks, including the one for The Talented Mr. Ripley and Cold Mountain. His composition for The English Patient won him an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Grammy Award. In 2004 Yared’s music for Cold Mountain won him the prizes for both the Soundtrack Composer of the Year and the Best Original Soundtrack of the Year at the World Soundtrack Awards.

During the film music concert we will present a selection from the rich repertoire of Gabriel Yared. Yared himself will be present and play the piano, while images of the movies will be shown on big screen.
