Doha: The Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra will present the 'Heroes and Villains' concert at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) on Sunday.

Conducted by conductor Frank Strobel, the concert pays tribute to iconic musical pieces that have shaped stories of heroism and villainy on the big screen.

Known for his diverse stylistic repertoire, Strobel has established himself as a prominent figure in the film and music industry, as well as playing an active role in presenting film concerts at prestigious opera houses and concert venues. Since the 2021-2022 season, he has been Chief Conductor of the WDR Funkhausorchester in Cologne.

The first half of the concert will feature legendary themes from the American West, highlighting epic confrontations between heroes and outlaws.

Audiences will experience the bold spirit of "The Magnificent Seven," alongside a contemporary reinterpretation of the genre in "Django Unchained."
