Screening of 'The Snowman' with a live orchestra and a chorister from Lincoln Cathedral Choir in the Cathedral's Nave.
The Snowman is coming to Lincoln Cathedral for a special screening on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 December, with a live orchestra playing along to the film. It's the one that most of us know from Raymond Briggs' 1978 picture book, and the film stays true to that: it's completely wordless, except for 'Walking in the Air', which a chorister from the Lincoln Cathedral Choir performs live at every show.
The screening takes place in the Nave, and the whole thing is run by the Lincoln Cathedral Learning, Arts, Culture and Events CIO, a registered charity. The orchestra fills the Nave with music, making the most of the Cathedral's acoustics, while the lighting sets the mood and a large screen means everyone can see. It's a wordless story, so the music does the heavy lifting, and having the choir member sing 'Walking in the Air' live in the room is the one part that breaks the silence.
