Maryland Hall Movie Night: “"Why Be Good?"
Silent Film and Live Music by Andrew Simpson
Tickets coming soon!
There is no experience quite like watching a film accompanied by live music. A story unfolding on screen is amplified by music which responds to its plot turns, making emotions bigger and characters more vivid. Acclaimed silent film musician Andrew Earle Simpson comes to Maryland Hall to partner silent films with new music created in real time.
