Over the last five years, The Ennio Morricone Experience has won a
huge following, locally and internationally, for their unique take on Morricone’s
Spaghetti Western film music. Malthouse Theatre is proud to co-present the
premiere season of the ensemble’s new theatre work, The Session.

Five musicians and a recording engineer are physically trapped in a sound
recording studio. Like a live Masterclass documentary about the creation of a
sound score to an unseen film, they work against the clock to create the ultimate
master take. The Session reveals the often bizarre idiosyncrasies and sublime
performance synergies of a session musician’s world.

Created and performed by The Ennios and directed by Barry Laing
(Telefunken), The Session is a unique theatrical event by one of Australia’s
most loved performing ensembles.

"That the musicians perform…with the gravity of a Mozart symphony only
serves to make The Ennio Morricone Experience all the funnier."
The Guardian, UK

"The Ennios create brilliant musical arrangements… with musical
standards of the highest order." The Age
