At our October 20 Festival event, David will improvise the score for the 1927 silent-film thriller The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The six-piece ensemble collectively known as “Silent But Deadly” will be opening the show with live scores for four short horror films: – The House of the Devil (1896) – The X-Rays (1898) – The Doll’s Revenge (1907) – The Witch (1906) —- Advance tickets are $17 general admission, $14 for seniors/active military and veterans, $5 for ages 25 and under, and $40 for families (2 adults + the kids). —- Celebrate the unifying power of the world’s music at the 2026 Connecting Chords Music Festival, running from August 14 – November 29.
