The stage is set for the return of the Ealing Music and Film Festival next month.

Organisers of the popular annual event say they have put together a "wonderful programme" for 2016 to reflect the rich and varied music and film heritage of Ealing - one of London’s most "culturally enriched boroughs".

The festival will take place from February 10 to 14 in association with the University of West London and other major venues including the Town Hall, the Church of St Barnabas, The Red Room (formerly The Ealing Club) and St Mary's Church.

Julian Gallant, artistic director of the Festival said: "As we enter our fourth year we realise once again just how much talent there is inEaling. Our Festival reflects this, and our aim is to develop that talent in younger generations of musicians and filmmakers."

Among the highlights will be the English Chamber Orchestra in concert with renowned pianist Emilie Capulet at St Mary's Church on February 10 and the Ealing Youth Orchestra will perform with 100 singers from the London Oriana Choir and the London College of Music Chorus.

The film programme will include the feature film Desire by Acton -based director Gareth Jones and a double-bill screening of classic Ealing Studios films.

"Boogie pianist" Ben Walters and blues guitarist Ramon Goose will perform at The Red Room, where the Rolling Stones started their careers.

As in previous years the Festival has been organised by an independent Charitable Trust set up by local residents with former Ealing & Central Acton MP Angie Bray as patron.

Patrick Chapman, Chairman of the charitable trust, said: "This is our fourth festival and we are focusing on Ealing's traditional film and music strengths.

"A great programme which we trust will appeal to everyone – we certainly look for their support so that we can continue in turn to support young performers in Ealing through our charitable bursaries."
