Last night a bunch of us went to an interesting event, called Musica de Cine. It was a live orchestra and several choirs performing movie music.
It was held in a very posh school called Escuela del Salvador, and I took a quick shot of the auditorium — very Harry Potter I thought!
What they did was project a montage from each movie on a screen above the platform, while the live music was going on below. Very effective.
The movies were all old ones (maybe the copyright is cheaper!) but they were all ones with big, dramatic soundtracks and the sound quality did them justice. I’d go to something like this again.
I really enjoyed the Sky Boat Song (used as theme music for the Outlander series) but the choirs and the orchestra were all top notch. The presenter did way too much talking and spoke very fast. We were mostly agreed – more music and much less chatter! The location is really beautiful – gorgeous building!
