Nature on Film: Early 20th Century Documentaries with Live Soundtracks
Students Royal Northern College of Music - Royal Northern College of Music, RNCM Concert Hall
Program Info: As we reflect on climate change and the natural world through this year’s theme, The Future is Green, we’re exploring unique opportunities to place the planet at the centre of our music-making.
Enjoy live screenings of early cinema’s most enduring nature films as our students compose and perform brand new works to accompany them. From mesmerising time-lapse photography to ‘talkies’ that narrate stories about nature’s life cycles, this fascinating evening fuses students’ musical responses to the stories of nature that unfold before them.
