Silent Film! Magic Lantern Slides! A multimedia extravaganza blending three spectacular

new compositions & films with enduring favorites to take you on an enchanted journey!

Philip Wharton created a magical score for the 1902 hand-painted color French film The

Fairy of Springtime. Michael Kimber scored Venetian Tragedy, a nine-minute drama with a

surprise ending. French composers Jean-Francois Charles and Nicolas Sidoroff teamed up

to create a major multi-media work which explores the life of the great French filmmaker

Georges Méliès, known by most from the 2011 film Hugo.

 

Special thanks to Artist Sponsors Juanita Dennert and Don & Irene (Naxera) Hamous.
