Live concert of festive film scores, including Home Alone, Love Actually and Harry Potter, performed by The Great British Film Orchestra in Gloucester Cathedral.
The Great British Film Orchestra are playing Gloucester Cathedral on Thursday 26 November, with Christmas at the Movies taking over the Nave. It's a live concert that brings festive film scores to life, performed by one of the UK's premier live film music ensembles.
The programme draws on the scores that have defined holiday memories for many of us, reimagined as a chamber orchestral performance that blends symphonic sound, festive spirit and cinematic storytelling. You'll hear Home Alone, Love Actually, The Nutcracker, A Christmas Carol, The Polar Express, Harry Potter and Elf — a good mix of the big, sweeping themes and the more intimate, nostalgic ones. It's a long set, running from 7.30pm to 9.45pm, so there's plenty of room for the orchestra to work through the different moods of the night.
The Great British Film Orchestra specialises in the greatest scores from film, television and popular culture, and they stage shows like The Music of Tim Burton, Danny Elfman & Beyond and tributes to the music of James Bond. The setting is a deliberate part of the experience: they choose historic spaces like cathedrals, minsters and abbeys, where the stone architecture shapes the sound. This one is in the Nave of Gloucester Cathedral, 12 College Green, GL1 2LX, so the room itself plays its part in how the music carries.
