Reporting from London, October 28, 2011
On Thursday, 27 October, the final orchestra rehearsal took place in the afternoon. By the time the players were excused at 5:45 p.m., there was less than thirty minutes to grab dinner before the pre-concert talk. I met up with Dirk Wickenden outside the Barbican Foodhall. I had previously corresponded with Dirk, a local musician and film music aficionado, during final preparations for my book, Film and Television Music. After a few quick bites I abandoned my dinner and we rushed over to Barbican Hall for the pre-concert talk.
