Zbigniew Preisner My Life – Preisner’s Music featuring Lisa Gerrard

In celebration of his 70th birthday, Zbigniew Preisner, one of the most outstanding film composers of his generation, performs works from his vast collaborations.

28th September, 8pm, Barbican

For many years, Zbigniew Preisner collaborated with the late director Krzysztof Kieślowski and scriptwriter Krzysztof Piesiewicz, creating multi-hued soundtracks that shaped the mood of existential despair in Three Colours, stirring scores that oscillate between diegetic and non-diegetic music in Dekalog, and haunting operatic compositions in The Double Life of Veronique.

In celebration of Preisner’s 70th birthday, this concert will feature works from his extensive collaborations with Kieślowski, along with music from his album Requiem for My Friend, in memory of the late director.

Zbigniew will be joined on stage by Lisa Gerrard—founding member, singer, and composer of the iconic band Dead Can Dance—a hand-selected group of collaborators, and the Guildhall Session Orchestra and Choir.

Tickets: Zbigniew Preisner | Barbican
