Tickets are sold out, but there's a waiting list, as some tickets could become available before the show. It's part of the series called Screenland at the Symphony. Organist Aaron David Miller accompanies the silent film, The Phantom of the Opera, on October 31, on the Casavant organ at Helzberg Hall, Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, 1601 Broadway, Kansas City, Mo. A lot of the reeds are very dark, and there's lots of wonderful string timbres that are very lush." And, certainly the organ at the Kauffman Center, has that very dark French feel to it. A couple of times, I've slipped it into the film ( Phantom) as just kind of a fun reference of the time that that piece would have been written, roughly about the time as that the film came out. There's a piece by Eugène Gigout, Toccata in B minor, that has this wonderful, dark aura about it. "There's a number of French Romantic organ pieces that have a very dark character. On Halloween organ music on the Kauffman Center's Casavant organ "As the movie goes on, characters come in and are introduced, and other ones get killed off and suddenly become missing and so forth, so a lot of the musical thematic material for the film comes straight out of Faust." It takes place around a production of Gounod's Faust, so all the way through the film, you have all these references to Gounod's Faust and themes that occur in that opera. "Most people identify it as a horror film, but in many ways it's kind of an adventure film. On The Phantom of the Opera as adventure film That as a scene unfolds, I'm using either a classical theme or a folk song or something to push the dramatics of the film forward. "With silent film.I use a lot of classical themes or themes that may have been popular when the film was first made, but also using that material to improvise the dramatic content of the film. I was really bitten by the bug, at that point." And having somebody kind of walk me through that to see what those different connections are, and how you can manipulate the organ from the console. Literally, there's a mechanical connection between every note and every stop and the pipe. "My very first experience with a pipe organ was a small mechanical action organ. Carlene in Kansas City has always been a special place in my heart." She was my very first organ teacher.she was very much my first important organ teacher that taught me the landscape of the classical repertoire, and how the organ fits in the symphonic scene, and the history of the organ and so forth. On one of his first teachers, from Kansas City "It's always fun to do a big, dramatic film like The Phantom of the Opera." "I tend to do a lot of Chaplin movies, a few Buster Keatons," says Miller. He's also accompanied a number of silent films, although mostly early comedies. Miller has gained a reputation for his "vivid musical imagination" and improvisation style. This Halloween night, organist Aaron David Miller will be in plain sight at the Kauffman Center, when he provides the soundtrack for a screening of this film.Īaron David Miller is a Minnesota-based organist and composer, who travels widely performing repertoire spanning all periods.
