Silent film and organ with Jakob Lorentzen

Experience a one‑off cinematic and musical journey at the Holmes Church Concert Hall on February 2. Jakob Lorentzen, renowned organist, will leave traditional repertoire behind to improvise a live score for the 1925 silent film *Phantom of the Opera*, projected in full on the hall’s screen. This film, adapted from Gaston Leroux’s 1910 novel, follows the enigmatic Phantom who dwells in the Paris Opera’s hidden corridors and the tragic love triangle that fuels his jealousy and mysterious hauntings—unrelated to the modern musical of the same name. As the story unfolds in silence, Lorentzen will craft a fresh, evocative accompaniment, revealing new and unexpected sides of the organ while the audience is drawn into a captivating blend of suspense, artistry, and live sonic exploration. Don’t miss this unique evening of film and improvisation—details and tickets available here.
