Scene and Heard: Discover the art of live music with silent film

A new season of events exploring the art of live music with silent film, comes to South Hill Park this spring.

Bristol Silents member Jamie Harber has put together an excellent season of silent films and events during April to June 2007.

Film Fantasia is the final event in the programme. Pianist John Lenehan returns to South Hill Park with his Film Fantasia on Friday 29th June. John’s fascination with the relationship between film and music has led him to work with silent films in concert for more than twenty years. He has also worked with many of today’s foremost film composers including John Williams, Michael Nyman, Elmer Bernstein and Howard Shore.

The programme for Film Fantasia collects together a wide variety of piano music all with film accompaniments, ranging from cartoons (including one of the very first) to
abstract representations (similar to Walt Disney’s Fantasia) to straightforward storytelling as in the charming films based on Carmen and The Magic flute.
