An extra performance of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse live has been announced.
Following the London world premiere of Spider-Man™️: Across the Spider-Verse in concert, there will now be special show at the London Eventim Apollo on Sunday 8th December at 3pm. The London concert follows dates this September (3rd – 8th) taking place in Manchester Glasgow, Birmingham, Bath and Sheffield.
The show will see the film presented on a huge HD screen, accompanied by a range of musicians and instrumentalists performing music from the film’s score and soundtrack live to picture. This will include a full orchestra, a scratch DJ on turntables, percussion and electronic instruments.
As our review noted: ‘There is nothing quite like seeing a movie with a live orchestra, especially for a film that mixes the urban and the orchestral so seamlessly. One of the most fun experiences I’ve had in a long time.’
The score for the film was created by Emmy-winning and Academy Award® and Golden Globe®-nominated composer, Daniel Pemberton, whotook influence for both Spider-Verse film scores from growing up amid the London rave scene in the 90s, where he regularly immersed himself in ambient and techno nights. Daniel also drew inspiration from the scratch DJ’s at The Blue Note Club in East London, where he first witnessed scratching vinyl being used in an artistic form.
This, coupled with heavy-drumming and punk guitars, gives the soundtrack its unique sound, fusing genres to make something bold and unparalleled which will be brought to life in an exhilarating style in these live concerts.
