The sound of movie music

The world-famous Philharmonia of the Nations will perform at the Warsaw Philharmonic on June 25. The orchestra, which was established by its conductor Justus Franz in 1995, will perform some of the most famous music themes in the history of film. The program includes pieces from soundtracks of movies such as The Godfather, Amadeus, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Pianist and many more.

"We decided that music from films would be something original, something that is not performed everyday and we thought that it could attract more people," said Monika Barbarska from Tchibo Warszawa, which is organizing the concert.

The Philharmonia of the Nations, which is made up of musicians from 40 countries from all five continents, has given more than 1,000 concerts since it was established in 1995. It performed for the late Pope John Paul II and in St Petersburg for the city's 300th anniversary, as well as during the opening of last year's FIFA Confederations' Cup. The orchestra has also performed on the occasion of including the original music sheet of Beethoven's 9th Symphony on UNESCO's heritage list.

"We chose the Philharmonia of the Nations, partly because its founder Justus Frantz was a close friend of Zino Davidoff," Barbarska explained. The concert is being organised by Tchibo Warszawa to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birthday of Zino Davidoff, the founder of the brand. Tchibo is the owner of the Davidoff coffee brand.
