JACOB HOFELING FEATURING SILENT FILM IMPROVISATION :: Friday, October 31, 2025 :: 7:30 PM
Equally renowned for his solo and collaborative performances, organist Jacob Hofeling will animate your Halloween with a program sure to please listeners of all ages. Known for performing repertoire of well-known composers alongside selections by under-represented masters, Hofeling is also a consummate improviser. Enjoy this rare opportunity to watch an abridged version of the 1922 silent film Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror accompanied by organ improvisation. Included in Roger Ebert’s list of Great Movies, IMDB calls this first-ever vampire film “one of the silent era’s most influential masterpieces.” Is this horror family-friendly? Absolutely! Turn it up a notch by attending in costume!
