Concert 3 – Vivaldi to Debussy

Thomas Gould, Natalie Klouda & Francesco Sica – violin, Benjamin Roskams – viola, Clare O’Connell & Ashok Klouda – cello, Julian Bliss – clarinet, Eleanor Turner – harp

HICMF regular Thomas Gould is the soloist in movements from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, after which this concert features Shostakovich’s String Quartet No.8, a bleak yet beautiful work dedicated to victims of fascism and war. In contrast is a brand new instrumental arrangement of cultural phenomenon Jacob Collier’s irresistibly hopeful song ‘Hideaway’, performed by local primary school children. Debussy’s Danses Sacrée et Profane see the harp take centre stage with shimmer and sparkle.

Concert 6 – Not So Silent Cinema: ‘Sherlock Junior’

Francesco Sica & Natalie Klouda – violin, Jürg Dähler – viola, Ashok Klouda – cello, Simon Callaghan – piano

A rare opportunity to experience this 1920’s classic silent comedy film with a live score, 100 years on from its original release.

Named by Time Magazine as one of the All-Time Greatest 100 Movies, Sherlock Junior (1924) stars Buster Keaton as a cinema projectionist who moonlights as an amateur detective. Keaton’s trademark physical comedy is soundtracked by a piano quintet score composed especially for the film, in 1920s style, by the LA-born composer and Tchaikovsky Competition prize-winning pianist Stephen Prutsman. A perfect Sunday activity for families on the hunt for something different this festive season.

The film lasts 45 minutes and is rated U.
