Join Michael Riesman, long-time music director of the Philip Glass Ensemble, for a memorable and spooky evening when he presents Philip Glass’s score to the 1931 classic DRACULA live with the film. Tod Browning’s classic film never had its own proper film score. In 1998, on commission from Universal Pictures, Glass composed a score for the Kronos Quartet, which became a best-selling record and was taken on the road with Glass, Kronos, and Riesman. The new score provided structure, pacing, and a new emotional element that had never existed before.

In 2007, Riesman created and premiered a new arrangement for solo piano, a version which was captured on album on Orange Mountain Music. The gothic tinge of the score became even darker when played on piano and the lighthearted humorous moments even funnier. Come join us for this new take on an old classic.
