KING OF KINGS This is a rare opportunity for an audience to experience
the authentic entertainment of movie theaters in the early 1900s.
Before the introduction of “talking” motion pictures, silent films
were accompanied by live music, often created on-the-spot by in-house
organists. The movie will be shown on a large screen in the sanctuary
of Saint Paul’s Church, while David Briggs, international concert
organist and virtuoso improviser simultaneously creates a live
accompaniment to the movie, performing on Saint Paul’s 110-rank
Aeolian-Skinner pipe organ.
