Candlelight: Tribute to Ludovico Einaudi
You’ve probably heard of him without even knowing it. Did you cry and laugh at the same time at Intouchable? Followed the adventures of Samba, played by Omar Sy? Did you love the main character in Xavier Dolan ‘s Mommy? The man behind the soundtracks to these global cinematic successes, the man who pulls the strings of your emotions, is none other than Ludovico Einaudi, magician, virtuoso pianist and composer. Candlelight invites you to (re)discover his most beautiful compositions in a magical candlelit concert.

Where to see film music concerts in Toulouse?
In the Ville Rose, Candlelight concerts light up emblematic venues such as the CCI de Toulouse, where Ludovico Einaudi and others are honored. These magical evenings offer the chance to rediscover classics such as Pirates of the Caribbean or Mommy in a warm, intimate atmosphere. In addition, other prestigious venues such as Zénith Toulouse Métropole and Halle aux Grains offer ciné-concerts celebrating cinema’s greatest soundtracks, for an unforgettable immersive experience.
How do soundtracks help tell stories in films?
Character emotion
In some films, music becomes almost a character in its own right, embodying the repressed or exacerbated emotions of the protagonists. A repetitive melody can convey obsession, while a dissonant harmony reflects inner conflict. It immerses us in the character’s state of mind, making his or her experience more intimate and universal.
A sense of time and place
Soundtracks often play on cultural codes to situate an action in a specific context. For example, a rhythmic samba immediately immerses us in the bustling streets of Brazil, while a Gregorian chant takes us back to the spiritual mysteries of the European Middle Ages. These choices reinforce authenticity and immersion.
Cinema has never ceased to amaze us and communicate intense emotions with its soundtracks. Candlelight’s candlelit concerts of mythical classical music let exceptional musicians pay tribute to this art form. Let yourself be carried along by the tunes of the main themes and credits of your favorite movie moments in unique locations. What more could you ask for?
