Helzberg Hall | Kauffman Center
Jason Seber, guest conductor
Thanks to Bernard Herrmann’s remarkably inventive strings-only composition, the American Film Institute has ranked the ferocious musical driving force of Psycho among the Top 5 Greatest Film Scores of All Time. Your Kansas City Symphony underscores the emotional tension of the soul-searing plot, as one of the greatest — and most nerve-wracking — films of all time plays on the giant Helzberg Hall screen. Rated R.

NOSFERATU
Wednesday, October 23, 2024 7:00 PM
Helzberg Hall | Kauffman Center
Dorothy Papadakos, organ
“Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror” (1922) was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula.” Nearly all copies of the film were destroyed under court order, but one print survived and came to be regarded as a masterpiece. If you liked last season’s sold-out “Phantom of the Opera” silent film with organ concert, you’ll love “Nosferatu.” Costumes encouraged!
