Italian Cultural Centre – Grand Ballroom 3075 Slocan Street, Vancouver There is little doubt that Ennio Morricone (1928-2020) was a top-level expression of Italian musical genius: the soundtracks he composed for masterpiece cinematic works such as “Cinema Paradiso” or “The Mission” are unforgettable. To honour the memory of the late Academy Award recipient, Il Centro Italian Cultural Centre proposes an evening inspired by Morricone’s immortal music for the “spaghetti western” films by Sergio Leone, such as “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”: the menu will reflect that tradition, while Maestro Cos Natola will delight the audience by narrating episodes of the Maestro’s life and by playing live some of his most celebrated tunes. This event is made possible by the Consulate General of Italy in Vancouver. Info and tickets: https://italianculturalcentre.ca
