Mark your calendars for a night where sound and silence come together in perfect harmony. On October 30, our exceptional high school orchestra will take the stage to accompany a live screening of the classic silent film “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,” with a chillingly evocative score by the film composer Brian Satterwhite. This will be no ordinary night at the movies. As the flickering, expressionist world of Dr. Caligari unfolds on the screen, our students will bring it to life with their musical interpretation—performing a score that dives deep into the eerie and mysterious heart of this iconic film. Imagine the tense, shifting moods of the film’s dark narrative perfectly mirrored by the haunting music played live by our very own young musicians. The contrast between the silent visuals and live orchestration will make for an immersive, unforgettable experience.

Additionally,  we are thrilled to welcome film composer Brian Satterwhite, the composer of the score for a Q&A prior to the film showing! Known for his scoring blending modern harmonies and classic styles, Satterwhite has crafted a spine-tingling soundscape that draws audiences deep into Dr. Caligari’s twisted world. Before the performance, there will be a special opportunity to hear him speak about the creative process behind composing for a silent film. Whether you’re a film buff, music lover, or proud parent, this event promises to captivate your senses and leave you talking long after the final note fades. Join us for an evening where the line between sound and image blurs and witness a high school orchestra deliver a live film score that will send chills down your spine. Come, be part of an experience that will transport you into the shadowy depths of a silent film classic, as our talented students bring it to life through music. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind event!
