Neil Brand

About
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!
Show lasts two hours, to include interval and a Q and A at the end. Suggested age 10+.
