Legends of the Fall, Amélie, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and even an ABBA medley… they all featured last Saturday evening during the CineMusic premiere in the Zaantheater in Zaandam.
Premiere in Zaantheater
It was the kick-off of the tour that runs through May 2026. The CineMusic orchestra, conducted by Henk Ummels, is once again touring theaters throughout the Netherlands, but this time with a completely new repertoire. Visitors are treated to the most beautiful pieces of music from 20 films by, among others, Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Ennio Morricone and Yann Tiersen, while watching carefully chosen fragments from the accompanying films.
Film music that touches
During previous tours and The Night of CineMusic in the Royal Concertgebouw, the large orchestra proved that it is rightly called the film orchestra of the Netherlands. The musicians also showed what they are capable of during the premiere. The film music regularly caused goosebumps in the hall. Or as one visitor said afterwards: “The orchestra knows how to touch you to the depths of your soul with the music they play. And the film scenes fit perfectly with the music. That makes the experience complete.” But there were also more light-hearted reactions. Many people went home with a list of films they want to see again or for the first time.
Energetic presentation by Mioch
The show was presented by René Mioch. Mioch energetically told the best anecdotes and special facts about the films and the composers of the music. The anniversary celebrant (40 years of film journalism) will also be part of the tour through the Netherlands next season.
Tour and tickets
It is played in more than 26 theaters and concert halls throughout the country. In Zaandam, the show can be seen again on April 24, 2026. Anyone who wants to experience CineMusic, Films live in concert for themselves, can buy tickets here.
