Program Description

Event Details

With a box full of classic films and musical scores, pianist Richard Hughes adds a third dimension of mood music to the very  best, spookiest films of the Golden Age of Silent Movies.

He'll accompany the action on screen with perfectly timed, live piano music, a spooktacular way to get in the spirit of the holiday.

As a boy, Hughes got hooked on the Keystone comedies show on public TV and, years later, learned how to play the "mood music" that accompanied silent movies.  He currently travels throughout New England presenting his programs at libraries, schools and other venues.  

Registration is requested for planning purposes, but is not required, and is now open.  Sign up below.
