Saturday At The Movies

Today, join us for a pro­gramme of music from movie and TV sound­tracks — and now we’re includ­ing some gam­ing sound­tracks, which have become as sophis­ti­cat­ed as movie scores in recent years and include some of the same composers.

Movies are where most peo­ple hear orches­tral music these days, and there will be plen­ty of that in this pro­gramme. But movie music is a much broad­er field than that, and today you’ll hear music from the movies of many dif­fer­ent kinds, from the very start of the genre (with Camille Saint-Saens) to the lat­est block­busters; from orches­tral music to rock, to Fifties songs. There is a slight bias towards fan­ta­sy and SF movies, but nev­er mind, we all need a bit of an escape these days.…

The Glinka Gallery — Featuring artist Lash VV

June is Pride Month in the Unit­ed States and many oth­er coun­tries, and that’s just one of the rea­sons that we’re fea­tur­ing Wolf­gang Glinka’s Glin­ka Gallery in this edi­tion of “Where Have You Been?”.

For those who might not know, Pride Month start­ed in 1969 in the Unit­ed States as a response to the Stonewall riots, which served as a cat­a­lyst for the gay rights move­ment in the Unit­ed States and around the world. The obser­vance has grown and expand­ed over the years, and Pride Month cel­e­brates LGBTQIA+ cul­ture as well as work­ing to build rights awareness.

The Glin­ka Gallery holds reg­u­lar exhi­bi­tions and per­for­mances  on  the gallery’s five floors, fea­tur­ing fine art, sculp­ture, pho­tog­ra­phy, poet­ry, music and dance.
