The Hoffnung Symphony Orchestra began as a book of humorous illustrations by Gerard Hoffnung and it eventually inspired a music festival that featured comical performances (like Dennis Brain, who once performed a Leopold Mozart piece on a length of garden hose, and a concerto by Malcolm Arnold that featured vacuum cleaners).
After Mr. Hoffnung’s death, his penned illustrations were rendered as a film.
