Rare Charleston, SC Cinematic Event: Viewing of 1923 Silent Film Hunchback of Notre Dame with live organ – October 11, 2024
Join us for a rare and captivating evening as we present the 1923 silent film The Hunchback of Notre Dame, accompanied by live organ music performed by Greg Jones. In the golden age of silent cinema, films like The Hunchback of Notre Dame relied on live music to convey the emotion and drama of the story. In smaller towns, a pianist would improvise along with the film, while in larger cities, the grandeur of a pipe organ would fill the theater with rich, evocative sound.
This October 11th at 6:30 p.m., step back in time and experience this lost art form in the Bethel sanctuary. Greg Jones will bring the film to life with his masterful organ performance, creating an immersive experience you won’t want to miss.
Bring your friends and neighbors to enjoy this unique event, and stay afterward for refreshments served on the portico. Opportunities to witness silent films accompanied by live organ music are rare, so don’t miss out on this special evening!
No tickets required.. Event is FREE.
