Vince Pope
Overview
About Vince Pope

Hear Vince Pope perform music from his recent album releases "Messages" and "Awakening" accompanied by a string trio led by Klara Schumann.

The music is melodic and wistful and, as Vince says, "hopefully my music brings people into a place of peace and tranquillity, and in some small way provides a calmness and an antidote to today's more disposable pleasures..."

The Vince Pope Quartet will be playing on the 11th June 2022 at 5pm in the Long Gallery as part of the Highgate Festival.

 

About Vince Pope

Vince Pope is perhaps more well known for writing music for hit TV shows like Black Mirror, Misfits and Wallander. His soundtracks have seen him nominated for a BAFTA and win Royal Television Society Awards for best music. His film credits include the much lauded Tigers Are Not Afraid, a film that Guillermo Del Toro described  as “one of his favourites”

More recently, he has started to write and perform his own music. As a pianist and composer, his music crosses the boundaries of Classical and Jazz and has a Neo-classical aesthetic reminiscent of composers such as Ludovico Einaudi and Max Richter. His two album releases are an expression of the direction his music is taking and his most recent EP release - Three Days Until Tomorrow - was described by Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 6 as “Beautiful... his music explores the elastic nature of time”
