Is that your wife? What a lovely neck!" -Count Orlok, the vampire

Who could get away with such an awkward line? Only Count Orlok, the world's first and creepiest cinematic vampire. Max Shreck's portrayal of this arch-vampire in the 1922 silent-film Nosferatu has achieved the status of legend. In October of 2012, for your listening pleasure as you travel into the ethereal Transylvanian mountains, you can experience the full horror of the film with a live quintet of Klezmorim as they blend a haunting tapestry of Klezmer motifs, Gypsy grooves, avant-garde textures, and classic horror effects.

Boston composer Brendan Cooney has written an original score for the film to be performed live by a quintet of some of finest musicians from the Klezmer, Balkan, jazz, tango, and classical scenes of both the Boston and Philadelphia areas.

Film-buffs love Nosferatu. Vampire fans love Nosferatu. German history-buffs love it. This Halloween, come experience it with a live score!
