All Candlelight soundtrack concerts
Where to see film music concerts in Brussels?
In Brussels, Candlelight concerts take place in majestic venues such as the Planetarium of the Royal Observatory of Belgium or the Concert Noble, where original soundtracks are performed in an enchanting atmosphere. For other experiences, head to the Koekelberg Basilica, which hosts a symphonic concert featuring over 60 musicians. Iconic melodies such as those from Star Wars, The Lion King and Gladiator resonate in these historic settings, offering a unique musical journey.
How do soundtracks help tell stories in films?
Character emotion
Music is often used to reveal contradictory emotions in a character. A scene of victory may be accompanied by a melancholy melody, showing that all triumph comes at a price. These musical contrasts enrich the emotional complexity and help us better understand the depths of the characters.
A sense of time and place
Some films use music to blur the boundaries between past, present and future. A classical composition integrated into a futuristic universe, or electronic music in a historical setting, creates a shift that challenges viewers and redefines their perception of time and place.
Music has never ceased to move us, especially film music. It takes our breath away, raises the hairs on our arms, and we love it! So why not enjoy the experience in the wonderful setting of a Candlelight concert, surrounded by a myriad of candles. Put on your best evening wear and join us for a magical hour, with your head in the stars of the cinema!
