Further International and UK touring of film and concert programmes, including ‘La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc’ with a new score by Paul Robinson.

Premiered at the Era New Horizons Festival in Poland last July, Paul Robinson’s new score to Dreyer’s classic silent film received a standing ovation from the capacity audience at the Wroclaw Opera House.

‘La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc’ (110 minutes) was the last silent film by the Danish master Carl Theodor Dreyer and is one of the best-known features in the history of cinema.

Performed by the Hilliard Ensemble and Harmonieband, Paul Robinson’s score perfectly complements the visual images through the opposition of antique and contemporary sound worlds, attaching itself to the vernacular music of the period as well as incorporating more abrasive instrumental interludes depicting the mental violence inflicted on the young and defenceless Joan.
