An inspiring journey through the music and the atmospheres created by the great Italian composer, a unique tribute that brings the most famous soundtracks back to the theatres.

Le Muse” is an ensemble composed of musicians who enriched their career inside the famous group “RondóVeneziano”. The music selected is a repertoire among the best productions of Ennio Morricone and includes well-known soundtracks from the ‘60s to present time, including “The Hateful Eight” which won numerous awards including the Academy Award in 2016. The ensemble has performed in many Italian and European theaters.

Ennio Morricone is rightly considered the world’s greatest living film composer, a legend whose work has reached far beyond the scorched desert-scapes of Almeria (A Few Dollars More) and the tumultuous waters of Iguazu Falls (The Mission). Much sought after by filmmakers the world over for his matchless versatility and productivity, Morricone’s innovative soundworks and truly exhaustive range of musical styles have complemented practically every conceivable movie genre there is.

However, he has not solely restricted himself to the silver screen, having created some remarkable signature pieces for radio and theatre, together with extensive forays into both absolute and applied music. Fondly referred to as il maestro by his peers, Morricone is just that: a master of his craft, a true virtuoso, effortlessly interweaving contrasting styles to produce some of the most sublime music of our day.
