“In a certain sense we watched Harry Potter grow up, and we grew up with him” declared Marco Patrignani, Founder and President of the Italian Cinema Orchestra and Artistic Director of the Roma Film Music Festival. “Our orchestra is the first ever specialized in this type of concert, where artistic sensitivity and technical expertise come together to give unique emotions to spectators of all ages. It is also thanks to the great success of the cine-concert format – tested over time also on other blockbusters – that three years ago the Roma Film Music Festival was born, of which we will celebrate the fourth edition in April 2025”.
