Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror

Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror

FCC Sanctuary. Free Will Offering.

Spooky live pipe organ score played alongside the 1922 classic silent film, featuring Ben Model, a leading silent film accompanist with four decades of experience.

One of the Silent Era’s most influential masterpieces, Nosferatu (F. W. Murnau, 1922) set the template for horror films that followed. What begins as a simple real estate transaction quickly turns into something far more unsettling during a journey deep into the heart of Transylvania and the eerie castle of the otherworldly Count Orlok, portrayed by the legendary Max Schreck. But is the Count merely an eccentric nobleman or something much more sinister?

Over the past 4 decades, Ben has created and performed thousands of live scores for several hundred silent films. Ben is a resident film accompanist at the Museum of Modern Art (NY) and at the Library of Congress’ Packard Campus Theatre, is a regular at festivals such as the TCM Classic Film Festival, Capitolfest and the Kansas Silent Film Festival, and performs regularly at historic theaters, museums, schools and other venues around the US and internationally.
