Designed for everyone from casual moviegoers to dedicated musicians, this series by Dick Lee – whose career spans five decades in jazz, folk, and classical music – explores everything from the chilling strings of Hitchcock’s Psycho, to the epic western soundscapes of Ennio Morricone.
Attendees will explore the evolution of the craft, including the transition from silent film accompaniment to the lush orchestral scores of the Golden Age and the experimental textures of modern cinema, with the help of plenty of video and audio examples, some played live by Dick on clarinet/sax/recorder.
“Film music is often the ‘invisible’ actor in a movie,” says Dick. “It tells you what to feel before a word is even spoken. In these talks, we’re going to listen to these masterpieces with fresh ears.”
Dick Lee presents Music in Film takes place every Wednesday from 06 May to 10 June 2026 at Valvona & Crolla on Elm Row. Tickets are priced at £20.00 per talk or £96.00 per person for the whole series.
