What kind of music was used to accompany the films of the silent era? The truth is, we know very little about the subject. The major cinemas employed a pianist or organist, or even an entire orchestra, to accompany their films. At this concert/film screening, we will get a taste of each of these, with the second half of the evening featuring a true film rarity with reconstructed orchestral accompaniment: The Last Dawn, a recently rediscovered 1917 work by Michael Curtiz, who was born in Hungary as Mihály Kertész and later went on to become a star Hollywood director.
This programme is taking place in collaboration with the National Film Institute.
