International Concert Series 2022-23
An iconic film of the German expressionist cinema, and one of the most famous of all silent movies, F. W. Murnau’s Nosferatu. Eine Symphonie des Grauens.[Nosferatu. A Symphony of Horror.] continues to haunt — and, indeed, terrify — modern audiences with the unshakable power of its images.
In this first-ever screen adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, a simple real-estate transaction leads an intrepid businessman deep into the superstitious heart of Transylvania. There he encounters the otherworldly Count Orlok — portrayed by the legendary Max Schreck, in a performance the very backstory of which has spawned its own mythology — who soon after embarks upon a cross-continental voyage to take up residence in a distant new land… and establish his ambiguous dominion.
Join us this evening for a special screening and performance of Nosferatu, with pianist and world-specialist, Andy Quin.
Pre-concert talk
Join us at 7.00pm for a pre-concert talk on the art of accompanying silent film with pianist and world-specialist, Andy Quin, and the Department of Music's Professor Julie Brown.
