FAUST & TIMPANI - PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE SCORE FOR 1926 GERMAN CINEMA

At the Hollywood Theatre, the Organ Grinders silent film series takes on a classic folktale in a neoclassical way. On November 18th, the 1939 Ensemble takes the stage with a secret laboratory worth of drums, mallets and chimes. Their target: Goethe's tale of the Alchemist and the Devil, the 1926 Silent film by F.W. Murnau. Led by Jose Medeles of the Breeders, the 1939 Ensemble mixes a gaggle of percussion influences into their exciting live performances. In a special one-time performance, the Hollywood Theatre is transformed back to its vaudeville days of bowler hat bedecked musicians and big screen spectacles.

ORGAN GRINDERS: FAUST
November 18th - 8pm
Hollywood Theatre - $12
