Event Information
In celebration of his 70th birthday, Zbigniew Preisner – one of the most outstanding film composers of his generation – is joined by the Guildhall Session Orchestra & Choir to perform works from his vast collaborations.
For many years, Preisner collaborated with the late director Krzysztof Kieślowski and scriptwriter Krzysztof Piesiewicz, creating multi-hued soundtracks that shaped the mood of existential despair in Three Colours, stirring scores that oscillate between diegetic and non-diegetic music in Dekalog, and haunting operatic compositions in The Double Life of Veronique.
Performed with our own Guildhall Session Orchestra & Choir, this concert will feature works from his extensive collaborations with Kieślowski, along with music from his album Requiem for My Friend, in memory of the late director.
Preisner will be joined by Lisa Gerrard - founding member, singer, and composer of the iconic band Dead Can Dance - as well as a hand-selected group of collaborators.
