Welcome to the FANTASY Film Music Concert!

This film introduces us to Belle, a modern, educated young woman who consistently rejects Gaston’s arrogant advances. When her father is captured by a creature living in a secluded castle after wandering into the woods, Belle doesn’t hesitate to offer herself in his place. As she spends time with the creature, she gradually discovers that a curse lies at the heart of his misfortune.

Peter tends to focus more on his work than on his family. When Captain Hook kidnaps his children and takes them to Neverland, Peter is reminded—thanks to Tinker Bell—that he was once the adventurous Peter Pan who led a group of boys and even defeated Captain Hook before. The adventurous track “The Flight to Neverland” underscores the film’s key moment when Tinker Bell transports Peter to Neverland.

This animated film from Studio Ghibli tells the story of sisters Satsuki and Mei, who move with their father to the countryside to be closer to their ailing mother. Soon after settling in, they discover a magical world filled with forest spirits and enchanting creatures, led by the warm-hearted spirit Totoro, who becomes both their guide and friend. An adventurous theme resonates throughout the film.

Another Ghibli film follows ten-year-old Chihiro, who, along with her parents, sets out for their new home along a quiet forest path leading to a mysterious tunnel. When her parents give in to the allure of deserted food stalls, they are transformed into pigs, and Chihiro must find the courage to rescue them. The gentle piano melody "One Summer's Day," which accompanies their journey, is one of Joe Hisaishi's best-known compositions.

A new adaptation of K. J. Erben's well-known Czech fairy tale has just hit cinemas. While this modern take offers a fresh perspective, certain elements tie it back to earlier versions—like casting Petr Štěpánek as Zlatovláska's father and featuring the musical motif "Nes mě loďko ke břehu" by Angel Mikhailov, composed in 1973. Tonight, you'll experience a concert suite written for the Fantasy Concert.

Another Czech fairy tale tells a story of Ellena, the king's daughter, has been cursed by the witch Murien since childhood, and on her twentieth birthday, she is destined to plunge the kingdom into darkness. A protective spell prevents the curse from taking effect, but it traps her in a time loop. This loop gives Ellena the chance to prepare to confront evil, learn from her mistakes, and discover true love.

Princess Ellena broke the time loop and defeated the witch Murien, but her battle isn’t over yet. The curse destined to plunge Aspania into darkness still threatens the land, and Ellena must join forces with her friends to stop it. The alchemist Archivald, who supported her in the first adventure, plays a vital role. His sacrifice drives Ellena and her companions to search even more urgently for a solution.

Hedwig's Theme serves as the primary motif throughout all eight films of the Harry Potter series. John Williams composed the piece at Warner Bros.' request for a trailer, even though he hadn’t seen any scenes from the film or read a single chapter of the book. Within a day, it became clear that this melody would come to define the entire franchise.

The theme encapsulates the magical and noble essence of Fawkes, the phoenix and devoted companion of Albus Dumbledore. It first appears in the second film, when Harry encounters Fawkes in Dumbledore's study. At that moment, Fawkes is being reborn—first consumed by flames, then rising from the ashes. Williams uses delicate strings and an oboe solo to evoke the ethereality of the phoenix.

Young Bastian discovers a mysterious book in a shop. Despite the owner's warning that reading it might be dangerous, he becomes instantly captivated by its tale from the magical world of Fantasia. However, Fantasia itself is on the brink of destruction, and its ruler calls upon the young Atreyu to save the realm. Yet, Atreyu won't be alone—Bastian is drawn into the story far more deeply than he ever expected.

In Tim Burton's 2010 adaptation, we follow the story of a 19-year-old Alice who flees from a garden party and chases a large white rabbit wearing a vest. The rabbit vanishes into a burrow beneath an ancient tree in a castle park, and as Alice leans over to peer inside, she tumbles into the Underworld. There, she partially relives the experiences she once had as a child in Lewis Carroll's original tale. This is reflected in the recurring lyrics, "Oh, Alice, dear, where have you been?" that appear throughout the film.

The melody of "Once There Were Dragons" plays during the final moments of the animated trilogy, as Hiccup, Astrid, and their children set sail to visit their dragon friends at the edge of the Hidden World—a mysterious realm that Hiccup and Toothless discovered nine years ago when they realized that humans and dragons could no longer safely coexist. This piece weaves together the main musical themes of the trilogy, offering a nostalgic conclusion to Hiccup and Toothless's journey.

In the second episode, Hiccup is reunited with his mother, Valka, who was once thought to be dead. After years apart, they meet again, and Hiccup learns that Valka lives in a hidden cave, where she cares for and protects the dragons. Despite their long separation, they quickly realize how much they have in common. The song "Flying with Mother" underscores a heartfelt moment when they fly dragons together, as Valka explains how she learned to understand them.

Based on the Chronicles of Narnia book series, the first film opens on a country estate where four siblings are hiding during World War II. While playing hide-and-seek, they stumble upon a secret passage hidden in an old wardrobe that leads them to the magical world of Narnia. In this enchanting realm, an eternal winter has been cast over the land by the wicked witch Jadis. Joined by the majestic lion Aslan and a host of new friends, the siblings unite to battle her and restore freedom to Narnia.

After the disintegration of the Fellowship of the Ring, the story unfolds along two parallel paths. Frodo and Sam continue their perilous journey to Mount Doom, pursued by the enigmatic Gollum. Meanwhile, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli set out to rescue Smiley and Pippin, who have been kidnapped by Orcs. The film is filled with breathtaking battles, unexpected twists, and deep emotions—and this concert suite will guide you through every moment.

The sequel to the pirate series follows Jack Sparrow on another wild adventure as his life hangs in the balance against Davy Jones—the formidable captain of the Flying Dutchman. To avoid his grim fate aboard the cursed ship, Jack turns to his friends Will Turner and his fiancée Elizabeth Swann, who, however, harbor their own hidden agendas centered around him.

Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann team up with Captain Barbossa to rescue their friend Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' locker. Yet even after his rescue, the adventure is far from over. The pirates must now face the threat posed by an alliance of Davy Jones, Lord Cutler Beckett, and the East India Trading Company. Meanwhile, Jack follows his own ambitions, and Will is determined to save his father, who is doomed to eternal servitude aboard the Flying Dutchman. Ultimately, everything comes to a head in a massive naval battle that will decide the fate of the pirates.
