Nick Cave. Warren Ellis. Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.As part of the 68th Melbourne International Film Festival, Cave and Ellis join the MSO for the first time to perform a selection of suites in full symphonic sound.Nick Cave and Warren Ellis' film scores are instantly recognisable for their minimal and hauntingly beautiful tones. Full of light and shade, creeping dread and inconsolable yearning, the heavily instrumental sounds inject humanity into the ghostly frontier towns, parched desert landscapes, post-apocalyptic war zones and extra-terrestrial vistas of their renowned films.The Film Music of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis is a co-presentation between the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the Melbourne International Film Festival.Get tickets now: www.mso.com.au/whats-on/2019/nick-cave-warren-ellis/
