Julia Holter and her band including Sarah Belle Reid will be joined by the 36-strong Chorus of Opera North for the long-awaited premiere of her soundtrack for the silent film The Passion of Joan of Arc at Huddersfield Town Hall on 23 November 2022, part of Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (hcmf//).

In partnership with the Barbican, hcmf// and Leeds' Brudenell Social Club, this major commission for the Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and composer is the latest in Opera North's FILMusic series of live soundtracks. Originally scheduled for summer 2020, it was postponed due to the Covid pandemic.

Over the course of five studio albums Julia Holter has pushed her experiments with vocals, songwriting and musical structures into astonishing and beautiful new territories. Scoring Carl Theodor Dreyer's visionary 1928 telling of the martyrdom of the French saint, she finds an immense sonic tapestry at her fingertips, and an opportunity to dig deeper into her longstanding fascination with the art, history and music of the medieval era.
