“So the lion fell in love with the lamb.” For one night only, the hall softens to a warm, twilit glow, setting the scene for the love story that defined a generation and bringing the music of Twilight beyond the screen and into the Guildford Cathedral.

Red Events proudly presents Music from the Twilight Saga — a unique concert experience in which the Mystery Ensemble transforms the film's most beloved music into a captivating nocturnal ritual for strings and piano, wrapped in shadow, light and sound.

More than a concert, it is an emotional journey through the entire story of Bella and Edward: from their first encounter in the forest to the sorrow of farewell, from the haunting Volturi Waltz to the promise of "forever". As the music unfolds, so does the story itself — a tale of love, longing, sacrifice, and the eternal battle between instinct and humanity.

The concert celebrates the composers who shaped the musical identity of The Twilight Saga.

From Carter Burwell’s original scores come the iconic Bella’s Lullaby, The Lion Fell in Love with the Lamb and I Know What You Are. Alexandre Desplat’s score for New Moon brings The Meadow, Marry Me, Bella and the mesmerising Volturi Waltz, while Howard Shore’s moving Jacob’s Theme from Eclipse completes the cinematic journey.

Alongside these unforgettable film scores, the ensemble performs specially created arrangements of the songs that became synonymous with the saga: A Thousand Years by Christina Perri, Turning Page by Sleeping at Last, Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron & Wine, Muse’s electrifying Supermassive Black Hole, Paramore’s Decode, Lykke Li’s Possibility and Full Moon by The Black Ghosts.

All works are presented in original arrangements created exclusively by the Mystery Ensemble.

The magic of the evening is created through the dialogue between the musicians, the surrounding atmosphere and the music itself. As the melodies unfold, they transform the space into a world that is both intimate and epic, allowing audiences not merely to hear the music, but to experience the Twilight universe from within.

The concert is organised by the creative agency RED EVENTS & Distribution Ltd., known for producing exceptional cultural experiences in historic mansions, on rooftops, in greenhouses, and in some of the most atmospheric venues across Europe, the United Kingdom, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and beyond. Their repertoire also includes a distinctive collection of candlelit concerts and fully immersive performances combining video art and sound.
