About

Tonight, the sacred silence of Santa Maria degli Angeli is broken by the soundtracks that defined generations.

From the interstellar void of Hans Zimmer to the nostalgic Italy of Ennio Morricone, the pipe organ reveals its full power. This is not a traditional recital; it is a physical experience where thousands of pipes breathe life into cinema's greatest moments.

Experience the massive acoustics of the Baroque nave as it amplifies the emotional weight of 'Nuovo Cinema Paradiso' and the thundering intensity of 'Pirates of the Caribbean'.

Highlights

Hans Zimmer's 'Interstellar' Suite performed on 4,600 pipes
A tribute to Ennio Morricone's greatest hits
Performed by Marco De Vita, Assistant Organist of the Duomo di Milano
Acoustics that make the floor tremble

Program

A curated musical journey.

I. ATMOSPHERES

H. Zimmer, arr. A. Lapwood

Cornfield Chase (from Interstellar)

Zimmer's minimalist masterpiece. The organ sustains notes indefinitely, creating a hypnotic tension that piano or strings simply cannot achieve. It is the sound of the infinite.

M.E. Bossi

Chant du Soir, op. 92 n. 1

Before cinema existed, Bossi was writing music for the soul. He was a legendary Italian organist (and teacher in this very city). This piece is pure, late-romantic melancholy.

C. Saint-Saëns, arr. A. Guilmant

Le Cygne (The Swan)

Famous as a cello solo, the organ transforms this into something ethereal. The deep pedals mimic the water's ripples while the flute stops sing the famous melody.

The Artist

Marco De Vita

Assistant Organist of Milan Cathedral

The Artist

Marco De Vita

Assistant Organist of Milan Cathedral

"The organ is the original synthesizer. It can whisper like a flute or roar like an entire orchestra."

Born in Cittiglio (Varese) in 1997, Marco De Vita is an organist with an outstanding academic background.

Since November 2025, he holds the prestigious position of Assistant Organist at the Duomo di Milano.

He has performed in major international festivals and is renowned for his ability to blend sacred tradition with modern cinematic scores.

The Venue Milan

Chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angeli

A baroque jewel in the heart of Milan, rarely open for secular concerts.

Built in 1558, this church was a spiritual fortress for the Franciscan order.

The interior features frescoes by Procaccini and the Campi brothers, creating a visual symphony that matches the acoustics of the 19th-century pipe organ.
