5 Classic Buster Keatons w The VOC Silent Film Harmonic: March 30
The VOC Silent Film Harmonic: Live Music Accompaniment to 5 Classic Buster Keaton short films: Saturday, March 30, 8:00 pm. $15 /$10 students/all artists: The VOC Silent Film Harmonic, under the direction of Ted Harms, is a group dedicated to performing live soundtracks to silent movies. The group takes its inspiration from how many silent movies were
originally presented, taking themes and using them as the basis for improvisation. The music reflects, enhances, and supports the movie; it does not overtake or distract. And, of course, when it comes to comedies, Buster Keaton has few peers! With his porkpie hat, floppy shoes, and stoic expression, Keaton consistently astounds with the pure physicality of his acting. The five short films presented are classics and unforgettable comedies! VOC is: Ted Harms, bass; David Hunsberger, clarinets, Steve Lederman, percussion & brass: Bradford Nowak, drums; Wade Whittaker on guitar.
