A special evening, based on the music that Bernard Herrmann wrote for Alfred Hitchcock's films.

One of the most creative and brilliant, if often turbulent, relationships in film history is celebrated in this special concert. Bernard Herrmann's radical approach to writing film music redefined the relationship between image and sound, and his brilliant scores for Psycho, Vertigo and North by North West bear testimony to this.

This world premiere features Herrmann's scores for Hitchcock's films plus other classics such as Citizen Kane and Taxi Driver. It also features rarely seen images and footage of the masters at work.

Musical direction is from Tom Waits / Ornette Coleman bassist Greg Cohen who gathers an ensemble of musicians including guitarist Bill Frisell to perform new arrangements. Original arrangements are performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by composer and Herrmann aficinado Joel McNeely.

Produced by the Barbican in association with Danny Kapilian

Tickets: £15 £20 £25 £30

The iconic film scores of Bernard Herrman — not only his work with Hitchcock, but also with Truffaut, Martin Scorsese and Brian De Palma — should serve as fine fodder for the clarinetist and saxophonist Marty Ehrlich, the pianist Ted Rosenthal, the guitarist Brad Shepik, the bassist Greg Cohen and the drummer Erik Charlston; this performance is a prelude to the group's premiere in London with full orchestral backing. 9:30 p.m., Joe's Pub, at the Public Theater, 425 Lafayette Street, at Astor Place, East Village, (212) 539-8778; cover, $15 in advance, $18 at the door, with a two-drink minimum.

Bernard Herrmann: More Than The Movies launches the 2001 season on February 15, honoring Mr. Herrmann. Eos will re-create and perform some of Herrmann's experimental radio works for narrator and orchestra, Melodrams, as well as chamber music and orchestral works from before and during his Hollywood career. Schoenberg's Accompaniment to a Film Scene opens a program that pairs Herrmann's early Sinfonietta with the chilling Suite from Psycho and the New York premiere of excerpts from his opera Wuthering Heights, featuring baritone Nathan Gunn.

Beginning his career in New York, Herrmann was an avid member of new music circles, forming a chamber orchestra in order to pursue a conducting career. His early pieces in the manner of Schoenberg matured as he worked in radio and then Hollywood, and his ambition remained high, even as his film music eclipsed all his other efforts. In the end, he became the most Singular composer in the history of movies, composing motion picture scores for such classics as Citizen Kane, Vertigo and Taxi Driver.

There will be a pre-concert chamber music performance as well as a symposium with music historian and publisher John Waxman. Mr. Waxman's father, Franz Waxman, was a prolific film composer and Herrmann's contemporary.
