If you haven’t already heard, on Friday 9th October at 7.30pm Gloucester Guildhall (in association with The GMG and Gloucester Music Forum) have been lucky enough to secure BAFTA and Prix d’Italia winning Director, Tony Palmer!

We are delighted to be associated with this event and to be co-promoting the screenings!

Tony has become a good friend of Gloucester Guildhall and is kindly attending the opening night of a season of his films that are showing at the Guildhall throughout Christmas and the new year. Palmer will attend the first screening and will also host a short Q&A session.

Tony Palmer; is one of the leading directors of music documentaries and historical drama films in the world. His hundred or so films have won scores of international prizes including a BAFTA and two Prix d’Italia. Gloucester Guildhall are privileged to welcome him again to the Guildhall to present three of his acclaimed biographies of 20th century composers.

The first being… Malcolm Arnold – A Story of Survival ‘Toward the Unknown Region’.

This documentary – originally made for the South Bank Show – celebrates one of Britain’s most underestimated and yet most popular composers. Sir Malcolm was a prolific writer of film scores, ballets, symphonies and operas. He also suffered from mental illness and alcoholism which cast a shadow over much of his life.

So come on over to the Guildhall on Friday 9th October at 7.30pm and meet the man himself, Director Tony Palmer!
