Jane Gardner: Women Make Music

The Hippodrome (run by Falkirk Community Trust) is Scotland’s oldest purpose-built cinema and celebrates its centenary in 2012.

The Hippodrome Festival of Silent Cinema will present its third year in March 2013. In its first two years the Festival has succeeded in attracting audiences from across Scotland, the UK and from continental Europe for a unique three day programme of silent films, schools and youth workshops, public workshops, special guest introductions, events and gala screenings, all featuring live music.

The award from the PRS for Music Foundation will fund a commission by Jane Gardner to create a new musical accompaniment to a silent film to be premiered at the prestigious Closing Night Gala event of the Hippodrome Festival of Silent Cinema 2013. Jane will create a partially notated/partially improvised score for piano, percussion, flugelhorn and violin. The funding will also assist two engagement sessions, led by Jane Gardner, and devised to inspire pupils at Bo’ness Academy and participating members of the Falkirk area Schools Orchestra ‘New Found Sound’ project.
