Here's a little about the historic silent movie and my score. We loved playing at The Grand Cinema in Tacoma, West Seattle's Kenyon Hall, and Vashon Island's Havurah in recent months.
It was a silent film fairy tale fiesta as we toured the East Coast in late February. My latest score for the 1916 silent SNOW WHITE is written for harp and viola, and this charming film features a very endearing Marguerite Clark in one of her few surviving performances. Plus dancing ladies and dwarves and the hilariously foppish Sir Dandiprat!
