Concertos At The Movies

June 25, 2026   Programming

This pro­gramme is now avail­able on Mixcloud.

Sun­day, June 28th at 2:00 pm SLT, Elrik Mer­lin pre­sent­ed a live broad­cast from the per­for­mance area at Sean­chai Library, at the SL23B celebrations.

In keep­ing with this year’s Gold­en Age of Hol­ly­wood theme, the pro­gramme explores a fas­ci­nat­ing cor­ner of film music: orig­i­nal movie scores writ­ten in the form of minia­ture concertos.

Focus­ing pri­mar­i­ly on British cin­e­ma of the 1940s, the pro­gramme fea­tures spe­cial­ly com­posed works that brought the grandeur and dra­ma of the con­cert hall to the sil­ver screen — many of which became hits in their own right. At its heart is Richard Addin­sel­l’s endur­ing War­saw Con­cer­to, accom­pa­nied by sev­er­al of the cel­e­brat­ed “Den­ham Con­cer­ti” by com­posers includ­ing Charles Williams and Hubert Bath.
