Music from the Movies at Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church (Mar 2025)

This event has already passed

Join pianist Gunel Mirzayeva and the Belmont Ensemble in the heart of London's theatre district for a beautiful candlelit concert at Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church, where they'll be performing some classical versions of everyone's favourite movie tunes.

Gunel Mirzayeva & The Belmont Ensemble

Gunel Mirzayeva has made a career of weaving together the culturally similar styles of Azerbaijani piano music and Western Baroque, leading to some memorably modern interpretations of Bach's music.

The internationally respected conductor of baroque music Peter G Dyson founded the Belmont Ensemble back in the 1990s, and made it into one of the finest chamber orchestras in the UK with its fortnightly concerts at St. Martin-in-the-Fields.

Classical versions of movie theme tunes

The programme will feature some instantly recognisable tunes that have provided a backdrop to some of cinema's most iconic moments, including Chopin's Ballad No.1 from The Pianist, Bach's Chorale from Solaris and Goldberg Variations from Silence of The Lambs, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata from The Pianist, Mozart's Sonata in A from Amadeus and Rondo alla Turca from The Truman Show, Debussy's Clair de Lune from Oceans Eleven and Arabesque from Green Book.

The show will also include tunes from Immortal Beloved, Crimson Tide and Sid And Nancy.
