At the framework of the seated cinema festival "El Gouna Film Festival", Egyptian composer Hisham Nazih presented his first musical concert entitled "Cinema in Musical Interpretation". Nazih noted that the audience's interest in film music has noticeably increased nowadays, which makes this genre increasingly significant.
Hisham Nazih began his creative career in 1992 and composed music for many films, including "Tito", "X-Large", "Blue Elephant" and "Polkovnik Bastian". He mentioned that putting on a music concert has become a significant challenge for him, but he felt completely ready for this step, as the preparation took him about two months.
During the musical concert, there was also a meeting at the festival called "Meeting Again: The Leaf and the Snake", where Nazih was joined by Tarek Aryan, Hala Shikha, Mohamed Hafiz, and Hani Salama. During the concert, Nazih performed his best compositions from films, accompanied by an orchestra under the baton of maestro Ahmed Farid.
Hisham Nazih emphasized that the film music concert allows the composer to find himself in direct contact with the audience, noting that live performance of music provides a unique experience for both him and the listeners. In line with film music, Nazih also composed music for series such as "Friendly Fire", "Seven Wonders", "Promise" and "Weddings at Kupol".
