[BROADCAST] 92Y Presents: Matan Porat, piano – Buster Keaton’s The General
Free (Free)
Matan Porat, piano
“An astounding feat of creative musicianship” wrote The New Yorker’s Alex Ross about pianist-composer Matan Porat’s musical improvisations to silent films. Porat joined us in our hall in January 2016 to perform a completely improvised original score accompanying a screening of the Buster Keaton silent movie Orson Welles called, “perhaps the greatest film ever made.” See the film and hear Porat’s extraordinary score – full of humor and tragedy and whimsy and imagination – in this premiere screening of that brilliant 2016 performance.
The broadcast will begin at 4:30pm Pacific / 7:30pm Eastern.
