The Cultural Hall will tomorrow hold a tribute concert to Italian musician, Ennio Morricone, one of the greatest music composers of the 20th century, which is the first music evening of the 32nd edition of the Bahrain International Music Festival.
The concert will be held in cooperation between the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities (BACA) and the Italian Embassy to Bahrain. The renowned quintet group, who had collaborated with Morricone for more than two decades, will perform unforgettable compositions from classic American Western films like "Once Upon a Time in the West", "A Fistful of Dollars", and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". They will also showcase music from Morricone's acclaimed works like "The Mission" and "Cinema Paradiso".

He has received numerous accolades, including an Academy Award for his exceptional work on "The Hateful Eight". With more than 70 million albums sold worldwide, Morricone's music continues to captivate audiences of all ages.
