A festive show in which a full concert orchestra plays the score of the film 'The Holiday' in time with the movie on a cinema-sized screen.
The Holiday In Concert comes to Connexin Live on Saturday 12 December, with the film's score performed live by a full concert orchestra. The movie runs in its entirety on an HD cinema-sized screen, and the orchestra plays in time with it throughout, so you're watching the whole thing with the music being made right there in the room rather than coming from a recording. It's a romantic comedy that's become a bit of a festive favourite, and this is the live-orchestra version of it.
If you're not familiar with the film, it's the one where two people—one in England, one in the US—swap homes for their Christmas holidays and end up finding something more. The music is a big part of that cozy, wintery feel, and having a full orchestra play it live changes the experience from just watching a movie to something closer to a night at the theatre. It's a family-friendly one, so it works as a group outing as much as a date night.
