You can tell a superfan from a casual viewer by their ability to recognise a film or tv show from the first two notes of its soundtrack. One of the most evocative elements of experiencing a great movie or action-packed series is a captivating theme song or moving melody. Hans Zimmer’s “Discombobulate” from Sherlock Holmes never ceases to instil a sense of mystery. And, Candlelight invites you to rediscover an array of legendary soundtracks in a new light.
Coming to incredible New York venues, such as The Williamsburg Hotel and The Opera House, the Candlelight series is paying homage to the likes of Hans Zimmer, Joe Hisaishi, and more famous anime music.
