The concert begins at 3 PM with a special viewing of the Laurel and Hardy short comedy\, Wrong Again\, followed by The Cameraman. The presentation of these classic 1920s silent films features new and spirited arrangements from score compiler and pianist Rodney Sauer. \nKnown for their riotous slapstick comedy that has earned them generations of fans\, Englishman Stan Laurel and American Oliver Hardy fall (literally) from one gag to the next\, running from problems they’d caused\, always resulting in huge laughs from audiences. Rodney Sauer will perform solo piano accompaniment for the lively Wrong Again. The Cameraman\, drawn from Buster Keaton’s extensive film repertoire\, features Sauer’s dynamic arrangement for a string and winds quartet\, to be performed by the VSO Chamber Music Ensemble. \nIn the film\, Buster empties his bank account for a movie camera to impress the girl of his dreams\, but breaking into the film business is trickier than it looks.

SUMMARY:The VSO "Goes Back To The Movies!" With Live Musical Accompaniment: Chamber Concert Series
DESCRIPTION:DETAILS\nLADY WINDERMERE’S FAN\nErnst Lubitsch was one of the greatest comedy directors from the 1910s through the 1940s. His films are infused with whimsy and witty use of off-screen space and symbolic objects\, and he always brings the audience in on the joke. \n  \nFor one of Lubitsch’s most charming silent comedies\, a play by Oscar Wilde was transformed into a silent film. It may seem impossible to adapt Wilde’s verbal wit into a non-verbal medium\, but Lubitsch rises to the task; expanding the play’s restricted timeline and settings to cinematic proportions\, and replacing verbal witicisms with visual witicisms. In fact\, only two lines from the play make it into the film. The result is a supremely subtle and well-acted comedy\, especially with Irene Rich as Mrs. Erlynne\, the woman with a mysterious past\, and Ronald Colman\, as the morally corrupt but charming Lord Darlington. \n  \nThis new score was premiered at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival in December 2017\, and this is only the second performance. It is full of sparkling dance music\, and some of the finest “photoplay music” available for silent film orchestras at the time the film was first seen. \n
