Capstaff gifts The Snow Queen
A free multi-media brass band production of Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Snow Queen' fairy tale is set for release on Friday (23rd December) at 6.30pm. Scored and produced by Jack and Charlotte Capstaff, and featuring Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band alongside narrator Frank Renton, the 30-minute digital release will be free to view on the YouTube platform at: https://fb.me/e/2xm05uMye
The inventive adaptation combines live brass band accompaniment alongside motion graphics and narration and was created by Jack Capstaff, who has quickly gained a reputation for innovative entertainment programming through his leadership of Derwent Brass and now through his role with Carlton Main. His new score is inspired by Scandinavian folk music with textures that draw the audience into the wind-swept tundra landscapes and the storybook-inspired imagery which have been beautifully created by Charlotte Capstaff, to bring a new twist on the classic tale.
Commenting on the project Jack stated, "This year more than ever I'm conscious of the significant cost pressures affecting families, and that's why we are making this available for free from 23rd of December to the 31st of December for people to enjoy. I have however set up a link to support 'turn2us' a superb charity helping the financially vulnerable, whose work has become more important than ever given the current economic climate. If you do enjoy the production, please think of giving a small donation to a charity that does amazing work, and a HD video link will be emailed to all those who choose to donate in the period."
The video will be free to access between the 23rd and 31st of December.
