NYman with a Movie Camera

Michael Nyman is one of Britain’s most innovative and celebrated composers. He’s also a performer, conductor, pianist, author, photographer and filmmaker. This evening we are lucky enough to see him as composer, pianist and filmmaker. During the first half Michael Nyman and his band will perform music from the unforgettable, award-winning soundtrack to The Piano alongside two of his most notable scores for Peter Greenaway’s films The Draughtman’s Contract and Prospero Books. This will be followed by NYman with a Movie Camera, a film by Nyman, screened with a live performance of his score by the Michael Nyman Band directed from the keyboard by Nyman himself.
