4:45p-5:45p 10/29 master class on “Music in Silent Film”
Irvine Auditorium (3401 Spruce St)
Peter Krasinski, the famed organist who specializes in the art of live silent film accompaniment, will present a Master Class entitled "Music and Silent Film, A Life-Long Passion" at the massive 10, 719-pipe Curtis Organ in Irvine Auditorium. He will discuss the history of silent movie musical accompaniment, demonstrate how he approaches each film and performance, and share thoughts about his recent tour of Japan. In conclusion he will improvise on a submitted theme. For Mr. Krasinski the "Theme" is what drives the music: whether that theme is musical, philosophical, or the story put forth in a film. His goal is always to find the "Central Line" in any musical composition. This event is free and open to the public.
