Candlelight, the world-renowned series of live, candlelit concerts produced by Fever, is bringing the most popular works of Italian composer Ennio Morricone and the pop-rock sounds of Coldplay and Imagine Dragons to the Mediterranean Conference Centre, in Valletta, on Thursday, March 20.
The Best of Ennio Morricone, being held at 7pm, will include masterpieces such as Gabriel’s Oboe from The Mission, Rabbia e Tarantella from Inglorious Basterds and the Love Theme from Cinema Paradiso. The concert will also include some memorable numbers by Morricone’s fellow Italian composers Nino Rota (La Dolce Vita theme) and Nicola Piovani (La vita è bella).
The one-hour concert will be followed by a ‘battle of the bands’ between the British act Coldplay and their US counterparts Imagine Dragons at 9pm. Coldplay vs Imagine Dragons will feature hits such as Adventure of a Lifetime, Fix You and The Scientist (Coldplay) and Radioactive, Bad Liar and Believer (Imagine Dragons).
The Cordia String Quartet will perform in both concerts.
