🎻 Creepy Music: From Der Freischütz to Today 🎻
📍 Knollwood Place Apartments, 3630 Phillips Parkway, St. Louis Park
🗓️ Thursday, October 16
🕑 2:00 PM
Join us for a fascinating musical journey with Dr. Jonas Westover as he explores how composers have used music to conjure fear, suspense, and the supernatural for centuries.
Starting with Carl Maria von Weber's groundbreaking opera Der Freischütz — one of the earliest works to musically depict darkness and dread — Dr. Westover will trace the evolution of "creepy" music. Discover the musical tricks and techniques composers use to send a chill down your spine, and gain a new appreciation for the eerie, the unsettling, and the spine-tingling in music history.
🍂 A perfect way to get into the spirit of the season.
Please RSVP to Alex Carlon at [email protected]
We look forward to seeing you there!
