Cinema Themed Evening: live cult movie soundtracks
Take your guests on a journey through the soundtracks that have marked cinema history. The Cinema Themed Evening by Shades of Blue offers live interpretations of iconic music, carefully arranged to convey all the emotion of the screen. From the delicacy of Breakfast at Tiffany’s to the epic adventure of Pirates of the Caribbean, passing through the intensity of Batman – Kiss from a Rose or the magic of La La Land, each track immerses the audience in an evocative visual and sound universe.
The performance can be provided by an instrumental trio, ideal for an intimate format, but we recommend a quintet or sextet to offer a richer and more immersive experience. This formula pairs perfectly with various types of events · chic cocktails, gala evenings, or private screenings · and can, optionally, include a host for a quiz or a musical blind test centered around film scores.
