Music review: RSNO: Gene Kelly – A Life in Music, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall

Symphony orchestras are embracing film music big time these days. It sells, and if they can throw images up on the big screen too, the experience can be electrifying. For this Gene Kelly tribute, the RSNO got into bed with Warner Bros and Kelly’s third and final wife, the writer Patricia Ward Kelly, all of which amounted to a generous evening of anecdote, informative insight, and assorted film clips celebrating the whiter-than-white side of the man who made ballet relevant to popular cinema, not just as a dancer, but as writer and producer.
