This post describes the opening idea of the tour, where the clapperboard sound marks the start of each program. It explains how film sound cues were adapted for a live concert and what the audience hears in the first minutes.
Orchestral and brass arrangements of well-known film scores performed on stage in Brno and Praha. Check the concert dates, venues and ticket information before you visit.
Each evening brings music from film history to a live audience, with arrangements written for brass and full ensemble performance.
The program features brass arrangements of film themes, arranged for the Moravia Brass Band. Each piece is chosen to suit the mood of a film scene, so the audience can recognise familiar melodies played in a new way.
The tour stops in Brno on 16.8 and in Praha on 15.10, with additional stops listed on the blog. Tickets for each evening can be bought on-line, and seats are limited in both venues.
The Moravia Brass Band leads the concert with a full brass section and a rhythm team. Their arrangements keep the character of the original film scores while adapting them for a live hall with a warm, close sound.
Audiences often stand and applaud at the end of the program, and this response has become a regular part of each evening. The tour team reads this feedback after every stop to plan the next season of concerts.
The opening of each concert uses the rhythm of a film set, with a clapperboard cue and a short fanfare. This idea links the music to the process of making a movie, from the first take to the final scene.
Between pieces the presenter explains which films the music comes from and how the composers built their themes. Short notes about film production give the audience context without slowing down the performance.
One part of the tour uses dimmed lights and slower arrangements of love themes from classic films. The evening is designed for couples and for listeners who prefer quieter, more intimate pieces.
