OVMF Concert: A real trip through time and space!

2 Comments

Five MonSFFen took in the OVMF Dr Who concert yesterday evening. What a great show! Small wonder it sold out twice. The Dr Who001music was wonderful, sometimes loud and brash as only horns can be, but sometimes soft, sometimes whimsical as well. The conductor, Jocelyn Lebanc,  is a real Whovian, and brought his insight to the performance. Not only did he compose all the musical arrangements, but he also spent hours reviewing episodes to create a montage to show above the heads of the musicians which was perfectly synchronized to the music. . Also, new to the OVMF, the addition of a choir which lifted the music to a whole new level.

Costumes? There were Doctors, Daleks,  and various companions everywhere, and not only in the audience. Some of the musicians were also costumed, notably a clarinet  player who wore a lovely white wedding gown. Sonic screwdrivers, Tardis tuques, Keep Calm and Don’t Blink shirts, fez, bow ties, Dalek dresses, everywhere you looked. A TARDIS and a Dalek in the hall drew in the fans for photo ops. (The Dalek was mobile, but not terribly menacing. The kids loved it! )

  1. After hearing that opening number I’m not quite as disappointed I couldn’t make it. I don’t know if it’s just that that particular piece was not composed with classical instruments in mind (maybe it’s just me) but that sounded awful, sorry to say.

    1. The first number did come out sounding a little weak. I was worried for my price of admission for a bit. It missed the synthesizers! But the rest was really very good. The orchestrations were excellent, and when the choir joined in, it was heavenly! All the clips from the show that were screened with the music were perfectly synchronized with the music.
