Experience cinema in a whole new (old) way!
June 28, 6:30-9pm, doors open at 6pm | $20 for Air Zoo Members, $40 for non-members
The six-piece ensemble known as Silent But Deadly will lead us on a trip back in time before sound films or theater organs, back when small orchestras brought music and sound effects to the films, while the audience actively cheered the heroes and booed the villains. And yes, active audience participation will not only be encouraged but expected!
The performances will include a mix of original and compiled film scores created especially for a selection of silent film era shorts.

Their chief mission is to compose new music for silent classics while providing an entertaining and informative look at the world of silent film orchestration.
