Described as "an intrepid improviser" by Michael Barone (host of American Public Media’s Pipedreams), internationally renowned organist David Briggs frequently performs improvisations to silent films such as Phantom of the Opera, Hunchback of Notre-Dame, and a variety of Charlie Chaplin films.
At our October 20 Festival event, David will improvise the score for the 1927 silent-film thriller The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog, directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
The six-piece ensemble collectively known as "Silent But Deadly" will be opening the show with live scores for four short horror films:
- The House of the Devil (1896)- The X-Rays (1898)- The Doll's Revenge (1907)- The Witch (1906)
