London Contemporary Orchestra

A special performance at the Barbican of late Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson’s Cinematic Suites. Performed by the London Contemporary Orchestra and conductor Anthony Weeden, the concert will bring to life Jóhannsson’s evocative musical landscapes for three acclaimed films by visionary director Denis Villeneuve: Prisoners (2013), Arrival (2016), and Sicario (2018), celebrating the remarkable collaboration between the two artists.

The suite of music will transport audiences through the haunting and emotive soundscapes that have become synonymous with Jóhannsson's genius, alongside sound design by Stars of the Lid founder Adam Wiltzie. Audiences will be given a unique visual experience too, as the performance is synchronized with imagery from the celebrated films.

This remarkable event not only pays homage to Jóhannsson's enduring legacy but also celebrates the transformative power of music in film.
