| The University of Leeds School of Music presents a one-day Film Music Conference on Friday 6 November 2009 to coincide with the Leeds Film Festival.
The conference is intended to be wide ranging, and will include academic papers dealing with all aspects of film music scholarship as well as an introduction to the film music holdings at the University of Leeds, particularly the Michael Nyman Archive. The event will feature a keynote composer interview, and a rare opportunity to hear new music performed live to silent films. Directions to the conference venue can be found here. |
Film composer and Leeds graduate Ilan Eshkeri (Layer Cake, Hannibal Rising, Stardust, The Young Victoria) is our guest composer, and will be in
conversation with Professor David Cooper in the conference keynote interview. New scores written by School of Music students at Leeds will be performed live to screenings of silent film clips in a Lunchtime Concert. The composers of the selected scores will discuss their compositional thoughts and processes with Professor David Cooper and film composer Ilan Eshkeri prior to each score being performed. The concert is part of the University's lunchtime concert series, and entry is free to all. |

| Rail: Leeds is well served with good rail links up and down the east coast main line and via the Transpennine Express. There is a free bus from the station which stops at the southern edge of the University (stop 9 is best). From stop 9 head round the multi-storey car park on the left and along the short road to the University campus' south entrance. For a map of the campus showing the south entrance and the School of Music (no. 75) please click here.
Road: Take the M62 to junction 27, the M621. Exit the M621 at junction 2 and take the 1st exit from the roundabout. Get into the middle lane when it appears and follow it three-quarters of the way round the next roundabout, exiting towards the A58(M) Inner Ring Road. Exit the A58(M) up the sliproad just after the underpasses (signed towards the Universities and Otley), and go up to the traffic lights. Turn right at the lights (a U-turn) and get in the left-hand lane to go into Woodhouse Lane multi-storey car park, the closest available long-term parking to the University. Once parked, walk up the main road (Woodhouse Lane) towards the imposing Parkinson Building, turning left into the University campus at the main entrance. Air: Leeds/Bradford Airport is around seven miles from the University to the north of Leeds. |
