The ninth edition of Movie Score Málaga (MOSMA), an international audiovisual music festival organized by the Málaga City Council through Málaga Procultura, will take place from October 24th to October 27th in an edition in which, in addition to concerts, we will once again enjoy meetings and panels with great composers.

MOSMA 2024 will hold a show and three concerts dedicated to audiovisual music, whose tickets go on sale this afternoon (6:00 p.m.) at the Teatro Cervantes box office and online through Uniticket (www.unientradas.es).

Although the concerts are scheduled from Friday the 25th to Sunday the 27th, MOSMA will have an prologue on Thursday the 24th at the Echegaray Theater (8:00 p.m., 15 euros, single price) with the show Universo Vangelis, a tribute to the composer of iconic themes for Blade Runner or Chariots of fire among others. Conductors Belén Santa-Olalla and Rodrigo de la Calva propose an intense journey through their essence to build a show based on live music, symbolic bodies and visual resources. A scenic tribute to the human condition in all its senses, with its lights and shadows, its greatness and abjections, as reflected in the maestro's musical universe.

Live music will start at MOSMA on Friday 25th at the Teatro Cervantes in Málaga (8:00 p.m., single ticket price, 20 euros) with Concert for the Heroes: the music of Band of Brothers, The Pacific and Masters of the Air, which features the scores of the three series produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks focused on the Second World War. At the helm will be Blake Neely, one of the most prestigious composers in Hollywood, collaborator of Michael Kamen and sole composer of the prestigious Apple TV miniseries Masters of the Air that has earned him an EMMY nomination.

On Saturday 26th we will begin the day in the Rossini Hall of the Cervantes Theater (11:00 a.m., free access until capacity is reached), the meetings with composers will return, a hallmark of MOSMA. In them, we will take an interesting, entertaining and relaxed tour through the life, career and personality of our guests, ending with a record signing focused on soundtrack collectors. The first appointment will be with Sherri Chung, who will give way to Blake Neely at 12:30 p.m.

In the afternoon at the Cervantes Theater (8:00 p.m.), the concert The Superheroes of Television: the music of The Boys and the CW superheroes will be held. It will be a double program with the best music from TV superheroes. On the one hand, the music by Blake Neely and Sherri Chung for the television superheroes of the CW network: Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman or DC's Legends of Tomorrow. And on the other hand, the world premiere of the music from one of the most popular series of the moment, The Boys, composed by Christopher Lennertz. The best musical moments of its four seasons will come together in this concert, along with its spin-off Gen V, which has been composed alongside Matt Bowen. This concert has a single price of 20 euros.

The morning of Sunday 27th will have an intense activity at the Rossini Hall of the Teatro Cervantes, where we will have meetings open to the public, honoring composers Maurice Jarre and Henry Mancini (11:00 a.m.) and with Christopher Lennertz (11:30 a.m.). 

At 7:00 p.m. we will return to the Teatro Cervantes for the closing concert MOSMA Maestros: the music of Maurice Jarre and Henry Mancini. On the occasion of the centenary of the birth of both geniuses of film music, MOSMA brings a necessary and heartfelt tribute featuring the music of these two great composers, including unpublished arrangements of works never heard in concert. The concert will be performed by the Malaga Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Joan Martorell and Arturo Díez Boscovich. Single concert price, 20 euros.
