COOLIDGE AFTER MIDNIGHT Film Series Honors Composer Fabio Frizzi With Coolidge After Midnite Award

The Coolidge Corner Theatre's Coolidge After Midnite film series will honor legendary composer Fabio Frizzi before a special screening of Zombie on Saturday, September 17, 2022 with the fourth Coolidge After Midnite Award.

Maestro Frizzi will be at the Coolidge on Saturday, September 17, 2022 for a 9PM ET concert featuring his Frizzi 2 Fulci band. The After Midnite Award ceremony will immediately follow his performance. Concert ticket holders are invited to stay for the Award and film screening. The Maestro behind the gothic soundtracks for Lucio Fulci's Italian horror classics is returning to the Coolidge after his visits in 2017 and 2019 to perform live scores for the film The Beyond. Fabio Frizzi, who gave the hellish nightmare films Zombie, The Beyond, Gates of Hell (aka City of the Living Dead), and Seven Notes in Black their unique and hallucinatory atmosphere, will perform his chilling compositions live with a full band.

"The Coolidge Corner Theatre is proud to honor composer Fabio Frizzi by presenting him with our fourth Coolidge After Midnite Award, recognizing his outstanding work in some of the greatest genre films ever made," says Coolidge Corner Theatre Director of Special Programming Mark Anastasio. "Maestro Frizzi's haunting music has thrilled our audiences for years and we're so excited to have him back at the Coolidge for what is sure to be another legendary performance!"
