See one of the greatest films of the silent era, scored live in concert by famous organist Cameron Carpenter, when Davies Symphony Hall hosts a screening of Battleship Potemkin. Director Sergei Eisenstein's revolutionary 1925 drama, which tells the true story of a Russian battleship crew's 1905 mutiny, introduced exciting concepts of montage to the international film scene, and was named the greatest film of all time at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. The famed "Odessa Steps" sequence is one of the most acclaimed and influential scenes in film history. Carpenter, the first organist ever to receive a Grammy nomination in the Best Solo Instrumental Performance category, is renowned for his superhuman organ technique and flamboyant style. Learn More

view more less of this reviewStephanie was fantastic. This was my first chamber music event, so I was not sure what to expect. I was extremely impressed and will attend these types of events in the future. Additionally, the members of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center added to the experience, and we enjoyed a lovely evening of music.
star this review starred report as inappropriateWe'd love to give 5 stars. Wonderful musicians, a carefully chosen program, and one of the best opera singers of our time, in a fairly intimate space. In addition, Ms. Blythe and Mr. Smith talked about the premiered work before the concert began.
