London Soundtrack Festival: Rachel Portman & Friends – Beyond the Screen

Join Oscar‑winning composer Rachel Portman for an unforgettable evening of conversation and music at Cadogan Hall. Hosted by her long‑time friend and publisher Gill Graham, Rachel reflects on a groundbreaking career—she was the first woman ever to win an Academy Award for Original Score, for 1996’s *Emma*, and has since continued to craft cinematic magic with unforgettable scores. The performance brings the stage to life with the virtuoso duo of pianist Nils Liepe and violinist Niklas Liepe (Siblings), who present specially arranged suites and themes from some of Rachel’s most beloved film scores. Highlight reels will feature the lyrical passages of *Emma*, the whimsical brilliance of *Chocolat*, the haunting elegance of *Never Let Me Go*, and the spirited warmth of *The Cider House Rules*. An intimate setting, heartfelt storytelling, and spell‑binding arrangements for violin and piano make this a must‑see event. Discover more details and secure your tickets here: Details & tickets.
