| GARY LUCAS PLAYS "THE GOLEM" AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY WED. MARCH 4TH On Wed. March 4th at 7:30pm, GARY LUCAS ("One of the best and most original guitarists in America"—Rolling Stone) brings his celebrated live solo guitar score accompanying the 1920 German Expressionist horror masterpiece "THE GOLEM" (1920, d. Paul Wegener and Carl Boese) at the Cornell Cinema at Cornell University in Ithaca New York. Lucas marked his 30th anniversary live-scoring "The Golem" last year. Originally created with co-composer/ keyboardist Walter Horn, the score received raves at the premiere in 1989 at the Museum of the Moving Image, and Lucas went on to perform it all over the world at festivals and major venues in 20 plus countries, including Royal Festival Hall in London, the SP Terror Festival in Sao Paulo Brazil, the New York Jewish Film Festival at Lincoln Center, the Jecheon International Music and Film Festival in South Korea, at Dom Kino in Moscow and 35mm Theatre in Saint Petersburg, the Silent Movie Theatre in Hollywood, at the Sydney and Melbourne Jewish Film Festivals, at the Next Festival in Tel Aviv, at Petofi Hall in Budapest— an at the Roxy Theatre in Prague, home of The Golem. Lucas will play his live score accompanying a superb new print of the film courtesy Kino-Lorber, struck from the original negative and restored by La Cinémathèque royale de Belgique. write your comments about the article :: © 2020 Jazz News :: home page |
