An alchemist struggling with his faith amid a devastating plague is offered the power to cure and the gift of youth, in exchange for his soul! Celebrate the centennial of F.W. Murnau’s colossal adaptation of Goethe’s sublime tragedy with a live score performed on our Historic Estey Organ!
Celebrate the centennial anniversary of one of cinema's crowning visual marvels: 1926's FAUST! Restored and screened in our majestic sanctuary with live musical score performed on our historic Estey pipe organ in real time by Peter Krasinski!
Mobilizing the full resources of the Ufa Studios, legendary filmmaker F.W. Murnau (Nosferatu, Sunrise) orchestrated a colossal adaptation of Goethe's FAUST that ranks alongside Fritz Lang's Metropolis as a spellbinding achievement of German Expressionist cinema, Murnau's Faust weaves a tapestry of folklore, allegorical fantasy, and apocalyptic imagery... Its legacy lives on through pioneering special effects like double exposure, breathtaking lighting techniques, and iconic imagery that directly inspired Disney’s Fantasia and continues to influence modern filmmakers.
PETER EDWIN KRASINSKI is broadly recognized as a motivating consultant for the pipe organ community, and as a conductor, organist, and music educator, whose imaginative and energetic performances elevate and inform diverse audiences. Well respected in both the secular and sacred genres of his field, he has taught the enchantment of music to both public and private institutions in the greater Boston area for many years. His Bach interpretations have been hailed in print as "sublimely spiritual.” and his improvisations have been critically acclaimed in the press as "stunning,” "seamless,” and “brilliant.” His silent film performances have been called “a great marriage of movie and music.” He consistently receives rave reviews about his “compositions in real time.” “Krasinski’s musicianship and command of the organ were matched by his intuition and keen sense of dramatic sensitivity.” “It was remarkable and seamless, and yes—no modern movie could out do it… It was as if Krasinski became one with the elements.” This will be his 4th time performing on our historic Estey organ after soundtracking Metropolis, Underworld, Flesh And The Devil, and Oliver Twist, and Queen Kelly at Epsilon Spires!
