An Afternoon with Neil Brand - Composer, Writer, broadcaster & pianist

This concert will have 2 halfs.

Those who want to remain after can join a Q&A session with Neil.

Neil Brand, composer, writer, broadcaster and pianist, opens up the treasure house of the art form of which he has been an undisputed master for forty years - silent cinema and its music.

From the earliest trick films, through the first Western, Gothic and Thriller movies made before sound, to a complete comedy short by one of the greatest of silent comics, Neil will set jaw-dropping sequences from silent classics in their historic and cinematic context and accompany them live and fully-improvised on the piano, all the while explaining how the music is working. An unmissable event for all the family.
