Music for silent movies ... I am a professional classical pianist but can turn my hand to all styes of music. I like to improvise for any type of film subject. I had outstanding reviews at South Hill Park in Bracknell. Fee very reasonable but depends on the size of the venue. I will travel anywhere but am based in the South in the New Forest. A film synopsis is all I need as I do not need to have seen the film before. Contact Jillian on JMusicmaestro@aol.com
