On the 15th of October, composer Gabriel Yared will pay a musical tribute to the late director Anthony Minghella. This concert is organised in collaboration with Hogeschool Gent and performed by the young chamber orchestra La Sarabande.
Gabriel Yared is one of the leading and most successful composers of his generation. He has written more than 70 soundtracks since the early 1980s and worked with directors such as Jean-Luc Godard and Jean-Jacques Annaud. However, Yared is best known for his long-standing collaboration with British director Anthony Minghella, for whom he wrote music for The English Patient, Cold Mountain, The Talented Mr Ripley and Breaking and Entering.
