$25
The Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra (PRSO) the leading professional ragtime orchestra in the United States, returns to the Appalachian Theatre for National Silent Movie Day. Under the direction of virtuoso Andrew Greene, PRSO recreates the syncopated stylings of a bygone era – Ragtime, Theater, and Dance music, along with underscoring classic silent films.
This year’s event Masters of Silent Comedy will feature a selection of ragtime melodies and screenings of silent film short, The Great Train Robbery (1903), and The Freshman (1925) featuring Harold Lloyd. Both films are underscored by a live twelve person orchestra performing accompanying music and sound effects! A program sure to make both young and old smile from ear to ear.
