Forgotten Songs and Stories
2024-01-31 19:30 - 21:00
A celebration of community, heritage, songs and stories featuring singers, storytellers, poets and musicians with members of the Bristol Ensemble Strings and Jazz Quintet. Composed and created by double bassist Daphna Sadeh-Neu this is a unique collaboration that originated with Global Majority women in Bristol and will be a debut performance at the Bristol Beacon.

Forgotten Songs & Stories is an original new work formed from workshops with an inspiring group of 15 South Asian, East Asian, African, Middle Eastern, South American, Jewish, Irish and Refugee women. The compositions, poetry and songs share an intimate celebration of their stories, with a central thread connecting generational memory, resilience and community. Rich and deeply honest, the concert chronicles tales of migration to new homes and belonging, from tradition and ceremony to love and marriage, from darkness and trauma to moments of hope and joy.
The show’s collective of artists encompasses a wealth of talent spanning the worlds of jazz, classical and Middle Eastern music. The narrative is interwoven with storytelling, vocals and a 7-piece string ensemble alongside double bass, saxophone, percussion, piano and oud. The stories are testament to how the remarkable power of creativity can bring women’s personal histories to life for wider audiences: connecting people through memory and empowering unity.
Tickets £10.90 (£5.45 for under 18s and unwaged), including booking fee, available from Bristol Beacon box office online and by phone on 0117 203 4040.
Presented by Daphna Sadeh-Neu

Downton Abbey, The Gold and Paddington star Hugh Bonneville introduces a triple bill of laugh-out-loud silent comedy classics, back in the auditorium where Slapstick began and with each showing on a giant screen with live musical accompaniment.
Topping the film bill at the Slapstick’s 20th gala will be the double Oscar-nominated THE GOLD RUSH (1925), written and directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin as a lone Klondike prospector who discovers it is easier to find trouble than gold, and featuring a real bear and dancing bread rolls.
Joining it in the line-up will be the 1922 short COPS which finds an impressively acrobatic Buster Keaton being chased by a city’s entire police force, and BIG BUSINESS (1929), starring Laurel & Hardy as hilariously incompetent Christmas tree salesmen.
Providing the live musical accompaniment for The Gold Rush will be the 16-piece Bristol Ensemble, conducted by Günter A. Buchwald, with pianist John Sweeney accompanying COPS and Günter and Frank Bockius playing for Big Business.
There will also be pre-interval entertainment from Cheryl Knight, giving excerpts from her Joyce Grenfell tribute show which proved such a hit at Slapstick 2023 and, in the foyer before curtain-up, the Bristol-based Shanghai Shuffle jazz band performing tunes from the silent film era.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame - film and live orchestra
2024-02-27 19:30 - 21:00 | St George’s Bristol, Great George Street, Bristol, BS1 5RR, United Kingdom
Book now
Come and experience this epic story and production with the Bristol Ensemble – A Flicker Alley restoration with live orchestra celebrating 100 years since it was first released in September 1923.
Hunchback is a huge production: the sets depicting 15th-century Paris covered nineteen acres of Universal Pictures’ back lot and included the façade of Notre Dame Cathedral. Filming took six months and the climactic sequence employed two thousand extras, but it’s Lon Chaney’s performance that makes the character unforgettable.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame premiered at New York’s Astor Theatre on September 2,1923.The success of the film was immediate; it made Carl Laemmle and Universal Pictures a fortune, and turned Lon Chaney into a screen legend. This edition is restored and mastered by Flicker Alley from a multi-tinted 16mm print struck in 1926 from the original camera negative. Screened with a symphonic score by Robert Israel.

String Quartet No.3 ‘Mishima’ Philip Glass

An hour of contemporary music for string quartet, exploring timescales in human memory and the natural environment.

String Quartet No.3 by Philip Glass forms the core of the programme, with the mesmerising cross rhythms and hypnotic quality for which the composer is so well known. Based on music Glass wrote for a film based on the life of Japanese author Yukio Mishima, this short quartet references moments in the writer’s life.

Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s work is deeply inspired by the elemental landscapes of her native country. Her work for strings explores primordial textures, combining emotional intensity with glacial stasis.
A pioneer of interdisciplinary art, for over five decades, Meredith Monk has worked across composition, performance, choreography and direction. She has developed a unique style which links the archaic with the experimental. Stringsongs was written for the Kronos Quartet in 2005, and has been described by critic Tom Service as having a ‘mysterious mythic power’.
Tickets £15 full price, £8 concessions for all who need it, available online at www.arnolfini.org.uk/whatson/mishima
