Teacher Information Session: Wednesday, November 12 | 10:30 AM
New teachers AND returning teachers should join us for this info session. We will offer a walk-through of the Silent Film performances so that teachers can see what to expect. We will also provide tips for preparing your students and information about the event. You'll also be able to try a sample performance to get a feel for the event. Ask us any questions you have!
Join us for this year's exciting music and film event!
Piano students of all ages and levels each prepare 30-90 seconds of music to accompany a scene from a silent film. Together, the performers create a continuous, live soundtrack that enhances each film. Before movies had sound, it was common for pianists to provide live accompaniment in theaters.
These timeless classics starring Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton are sure to delight audiences of all ages. Each entertaining film is only 20-30 minutes in duration.
The SFC is a fun and unique performance opportunity for students, as well as a memorable event for audiences. Tickets may be purchased online or at the door. You won't want to miss this inspiring day of music and movies!
