About this event
Bandrika Studios and Biscetti Productions are proud to present Silent Films Live III hosted by Suzanne Lloyd, granddaughter of silent film star Harold Lloyd, and under the baton of award-winning conductor Angel Velez (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Miss World 2022). This star-studded event brings together highly-acclaimed film, television, and visual media composers to reimagine new scores to classic silent films while raising money to support the work of Education Through Music - Los Angeles, an organization that supports 49 schools and over 21,000 students across Los Angeles County. Adding to the silent film era theme, the event will take place at Bandrika Studios, a space custom-built to showcase Hollywood's original 1,500 pipe Wurlitzer organ. The pipe organ dates back to 1928 when it resided on the Fox lot and was used in classic scores including Journey to the Center of the Earth, Patton, The Sound of Music, to name a few.
Original promotional art for Silent Films Live 3 and other items will be part of the silent auction each evening.
