A New Score for a Classic Silent Film

By Liz Bulkley on Thursday, April 19, 2007.

One of the most iconic images from the silent film era is of a bespectacled Harold Lloyd hanging for his dear life from a very tall clock tower. It's from the movie Safety Last, and it's been putting audiences on the edge of their seats since 1923. Now the classic film has brand new music, thanks to New Hampshire composer Mike Annicchiarico. He'll join us in the studio with fellow musician David Kontak to perform pieces of the new score performed on instruments created by David. We'll discuss the influence that music can have on a theater experience.


Mike Annicchiarico and David Kontak will perform their score live at a viewing of Safety Last this weekend at the Capitol Center for the Arts in Concord. Check out the Red Rivers Theatres website for more information.
