Hauser & Wirth Somerset, the art gallery in a converted farm in Somerset, is presenting The Sound of Silent: Celebrating 100 years of Music and the Movies from 12 to 14 May 2017. A collaboration between the gallery and pianist Ashley Wass and violinist Matthew Trusler, the festival will open with Sergei Eisenstein's 1925 silent masterpiece Battleship Potemkin with a new live score performed and curated by Wass and Trussler, using music by different composers, many of whom were affected by the Russian Revolution in 1917, including Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Mussorgsky, Janacek, and Bartok.
The festival continue through the weekend with showings of silent films, whilst on Saturday evening trumpeter & composer Guy Barker and jazz vocalist & pianist Ian Shaw join forces for a performance celebrating music from films. The festival concludes with Matthew Trusler and Ashley Wass taking the audience on a musical tour of Charlie Chaplin's life.
