Film Fest Gent viert het zilveren jubileum van de World Soundtrack Awards met een muzikale legende van wereldformaat: A.R. Rahman, de componist achter onder andere Slumdog Millionaire<\/em> en 127 Hours<\/em>, wordt op 15 oktober 2025 gehuldigd als eregast tijdens de prestigieuze uitreiking in Muziekcentrum De Bijloke. Het Brussels Philharmonic onder leiding van Dirk Bross\u00e9 brengt die avond een eerbetoon aan zijn indrukwekkende oeuvre.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIk ben zeer dankbaar dat ik erkenning krijg op de prestigieuze World Soundtrack Awards,\u201d zegt Rahman. \u201cIk kijk ernaar uit om mijn composities uitgevoerd te horen door de geweldige musici van het Brussels Philharmonic onder leiding van Dirk Bross\u00e9.\u201d<\/p>\n

Van Chennai tot de Oscars<\/h3>\n

A.R. Rahman \u2013 geboren als Dileep Kumar Rajagopala in Chennai \u2013 groeide op in een muzikaal gezin. Na het vroege overlijden van zijn vader, zelf componist, speelde hij al op jonge leeftijd piano om zijn familie te ondersteunen. Zijn grote doorbraak kwam er in 1992 met de soundtrack voor Roja<\/em>, een meesterlijke mix van klassieke Indiase muziek en moderne invloeden. Die vernieuwende stijl zou zijn handelsmerk worden.
\nZijn reputatie groeide razendsnel. Hij componeerde soundtracks voor meer dan 150 films en opende Panchathan Record Inn, de meest geavanceerde opnamestudio van India. Zijn muziek inspireerde niet enkel filmmakers uit Bollywood, maar wist ook het Westen te overtuigen.<\/p>\n

Bombay Dreams & Hollywoodscores<\/h3>\n

De Britse musicallegende Andrew Lloyd Webber vroeg hem de muziek te schrijven voor Bombay Dreams<\/em>, een satirische ode aan Bollywood die zowel op West End als Broadway succes oogstte.
\nIn Hollywood componeerde Rahman onder meer voor Elizabeth: The Golden Age<\/em> en Inside Man<\/em>, maar zijn wereldwijde doorbraak kwam er met Danny Boyle\u2019s Slumdog Millionaire<\/em> (2008). De film en vooral de muziek ervan werden een cultureel fenomeen. Rahman won twee Oscars, een Golden Globe, een BAFTA, twee Grammy\u2019s en de World Soundtrack Award voor \u201cJai Ho\u201d. Ook zijn werk voor 127 Hours<\/em> leverde hem opnieuw Grammy-nominaties op.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wereldwijde invloed<\/h3>\n

Met zijn unieke stijl, waarbij hij westerse en Indiase muzikale tradities moeiteloos verweeft, geldt Rahman als een van de invloedrijkste componisten van zijn generatie. Hij bracht \u201cBombay naar Broadway\u201d, gaf Bollywood een wereldpodium en zette zijn stempel op de internationale filmcultuur.<\/p>\n

Praktisch<\/h3>\n

De World Soundtrack Awards<\/strong> vormen het muzikale hoogtepunt van Film Fest Gent en vinden plaats van 14 tot 16 oktober 2025. De ceremonie en het concert met A.R. Rahman als eregast<\/strong> gaan door op 15 oktober in Muziekcentrum De Bijloke, Gent<\/strong>. Ook de Britse componiste Debbie Wiseman<\/strong> wordt ge\u00eberd.<\/p>\n
