HOPKINS TO PLAY CLASSICAL MUSIC
Anthony Hopkins is all set to play classical music for two concerts in the United Kingdom. Anthony Hopkins will present his original classical music, including a new piece composed for the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, at two UK concerts.
Hopkins is "immensely happy" to be working with the orchestra for his music's British premiere, he told BBC News. "There are themes and passages in these pieces that have been several decades in the making and to bring them all vividly to life with one of the great symphony orchestras of the world is absolutely thrilling."
At both dates, in Birmingham on 23 July and in Cardiff on 24 July, Hopkins will introduce music he wrote for his own independently released films. August, released in 1996, and Slipstream, from 2007, were both directed by Hopkins. The actor will also debut a new work, composed for the occasion, and the orchestra will perform parts of the scores for The Remains of the Day and The Silence of the Lambs, in which Hopkins appeared.
