On the Spot: making improvised music

  • Venue: Morecambe Winter Gardens 209 Marine Road, Morecambe Morecambe LA4 4BU UK (map)

How do improvising musicians create music out of thin air? Silents by the Sea’s band of players reveal their secrets.

Much of the music at Silents by the Sea is invented on the spur of the moment by the musicians, as they watch the film. How do they know what to play? Where do their ideas come from? Why does the score never grind to a halt?

Northern Silents Artistic Director hosts an engaging, illustrated conversation and audience Q&A with festival musicians. This event is suitable for musicians and non-musicians alike.
