Northern Kentucky University’s School of the Arts Music Program will present a movie-theatre like concert experience at The Carnegie entitled “Reel Encounters with Music.” Join the NKU Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Amy Gillingham, in a family-friendly, multimedia event with film, actors, and free popcorn!

The concert will showcase the versatility of the orchestra with many different “moving parts” and will feature compositions for the films Pedigreedy (1927), Wright Flight (2013), and The Freshman (1925). Although Pedigreedy and Freshman are from the 1920s, the music is written by modern and living composers. Back in the day, these movies were silent films and an organist/pianist would play and improvise along with the film for added drama. Wright Flight is also by a living composer, and the performance marks the 115th anniversary of the Wright brothers’ first flight.
