The Darwin Symphony invited me to return, three years after my first gig with them, to sing as part of a fun John Williams tribute concert. I was involved in the second half of the concert, which was a live performance of the score of the wonderful animated Christmas movie “The Snowman” (music by Howard Blake) and this meant that I could sit back and nerd out to soundtrack excerpts from Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Harry Potter and the like for the first half! I may or may not have been leaping about in my dressing room back stage with my pretend light sabre. You’ll never know. (Hint: awkward in heels)
I will say, however, that despite all my years in England (the Brits are obsessed with The Snowman) I had never realised that the ending was quite so brutal, and I did have a big lump in my throat at the end! All in all a very enjoyable sojourn up North again, as ever. Thank you, DSO, and Merry Christmas everyone!
