The
Andrew Alden Ensemble
presents the 1925 silent horror
film adaptation of Gaston
Leroux's novel The Phantom
of the Opera with a live
modern score! The Andrew Alden
Ensemble is a contemporary
chamber music group from Berklee
College of Music in Boston, MA
whose goal is to bring forth new
music for chamber music and
film. The ensemble produces
textual scores for film and
performs them in front of a live
audience to transform the
picture with new sounds and
experiences.
The Andrew Alden Ensemble brings
together a fascinating
collaboration of rock music and
contemporary classical
composition with electric
guitar, drum set, synthesizer,
piano, violin and viola,
updating audiences' experience
with this horror classic. Their
music combines the influence of
Steve Reich, Philip Glass, David
Lang, Radiohead, Velvet
Underground and Krzysvtof
Penderecki to create a beautiful
and haunting sound that cannot
be mistaken for anyone else.
