  • Chicago Philharmonic Performs Playful Soundtracks to Hilarious Silent Films in the North Shore
    Contact: Cassandra Kirkpatrick [email protected] (312) 957-0000 Chicago Philharmonic Performs Playful Soundtracks to Hilarious Silent Films in the North Shore Chicago, IL - (March 11 2019) Following critically acclaimed, sold-out performances with the Joffrey Ballet and English National Ballet, the Chicago Philharmonic returns to the North Shore to present another unforgettable multimedia production combining film and classical music. Featuring fresh new soundtracks by Tom Nazziola, a prolific composer and conductor best known for his work on film, television and musicals, Silent Sherlock will astound and entertain audiences at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie this March. Nazziola will lead the Chicago Philharmonic ensemble in three new film scores to accompany a live screening of movies from the golden age of silent film in the 1920s. Headlining the program is Sherlock Jr., starring perhaps the greatest comedic genius of the 20th century, Buster Keaton. Hilarious hijinks ensue as Keaton attempts to impress his sweetheart, solve a mystery, and save the day. Accompanying spectacular cinematography is a colorful palette of violin, piano, bass, and winds painted with Nazziola’s masterful hand. Silent Sherlock also features the short Sure-Locked Homes with legendary cartoon character Felix the Cat and Fadeaway, at the time a revolutionary blend of animation and live action, with vividly entertaining Koko the Clown. Nazziola’s film scores have been lavishly praised by Rolling Stone: “Nazziola is doing astonishing compositional work with silent films…his contribution indispensable.” Silent Sherlock Films with live music March 24 2019, 4:00pm North Shore Center for the Performing Arts, Skokie Tom Nazziola composer and conductor Featuring the silent films Sherlock Jr.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.
