John Schwandt to accompany classic ‘Metropolis’ Nov. 2
The public is invited to celebrate ArtsFest 2016: Art & Utopia with a special screening of “Metropolis,” the classic 1927 silent science fiction film, with live accompaniment by organist John Schwandt.
The DePauw University Film Studies and Performing Arts Series event begins at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2 in Kresge Auditorium within the Green Center for the Performing Arts. The presentation is free and open to the public.
It will mark Schwandt’s third visit to DePauw. He previously accompanied the screening of “Phantom of the Opera” and, more recently, “Nosferatu.”
Schwandt is an acclaimed silent film accompanist and music scholar, as well as director of the American Organ Institute. He will perform on Kresge auditorium’s 40-stop pipe organ designed and built by Wolff & Associates of Laval, Quebec, Canada.
Metropolis is a futuristic film directed by Fritz Lang.
