Esther Abrami: Cinema at Radiant-Bellevue

At Radiant-Bellevue, we are delighted to welcome Esther Abrami with her new live experience, Cinema. From our stage, renowned for its warm acoustics and intimate sightlines, audiences will discover a program designed to make film music glow with the immediacy of a recital and the sweep of the big screen. Esther is a magnetic artist who bridges classical tradition and contemporary culture with striking ease, engaging a new generation of listeners while offering connoisseurs refined musicianship and storytelling. Her artistry thrives on clarity, lyricism, and a generous connection with the audience—qualities that resonate beautifully in our hall. As hosts, we have shaped the evening for immersion: carefully balanced sound to let the violin’s nuances bloom, lighting that traces each musical journey, and a stage layout that reinforces the cinematic arc. Whether you follow Esther’s digital projects or you’re discovering her for the first time, Cinema at Radiant-Bellevue promises a musical evening where familiar themes feel new and new discoveries feel instantly timeless.

What to expect from Cinema at Radiant-Bellevue

Cinema is Esther Abrami’s invitation to step inside the emotional architecture of the movies—through the voice of the violin. The program highlights iconic themes and contemporary soundworlds, elegantly reimagined for Esther and her accompanying musicians. Expect sweeping melodies, hushed nocturnes, rhythmic pulses, and luminous textures that evoke everything from golden-age romance to modern psychological thrillers. Between selections, Esther’s natural stagecraft and storytelling bring a behind-the-scenes intimacy: the way a theme is shaped, how a bow stroke can channel a scene’s tension, and why certain harmonies feel like the color grading of a film. At Radiant-Bellevue, we’ve designed an atmosphere that favors detail and impact in equal measure—nuanced amplification for the subtlest pianissimo, dynamic range for cinematic surges, and lighting sequences that follow the music’s narrative in real time. This is not simply a “best-of” of movie tunes; it’s a curated journey where the concert hall becomes a theatre of memory, and the violin takes the lead role.

As part of the Cinema tournée, Esther Abrami continues a period of artistic momentum marked by acclaimed recordings, inventive arrangements, and a vibrant presence that champions accessibility without compromise. Her recent projects have emphasized collaboration with living arrangers and composers, and a programming style that comfortably juxtaposes familiar soundtracks with contemporary minimalism and lyrical new writing. On our stage at Radiant-Bellevue, that curatorial voice comes to life: we hear the expressive core of a theme exposed by solo violin; we sense the geometry of a score in the interplay between strings, keys, and subtle electronics; we feel the audience lean in as silence frames the final note. Radiant-Bellevue’s design supports this cinematic language—comfortable seating that keeps you close to the music, a broad visual field that ensures every gesture reads, and a technical team attentive to the smallest expressive detail. For listeners who cherish the emotional clarity of great film music and the craftsmanship of a top-flight recital, Cinema places both in high relief. We look forward to welcoming you to an evening where melody becomes memory, and Radiant-Bellevue becomes the perfect screen.
