Dare to experience the chilling 1922 German silent horror film, “Nosferatu” accompanied by composer Kermit Poling’s original score performed by Poling and the Muncie Symphony Orchestra String Quartet live at the Cornerstone E. B. Ball Auditorium!

The MSO quartet will perform Poling’s original score during the screening of a digitally remastered version of the classic vampire flick.

This dance piece follows a young girl and her family of dolls on a whimsical, sensual, and magical journey to a world where the lines between reality and imagination no longer exist. As these worlds collide, the audience catches a glimpse of the relationships between these characters, their worlds, and how they color and shape each other.

Nominated 51 times and awarded five Academy Awards, John Williams is responsible for some of the most beloved movie scores of all time. The concert features music from Superman, Jurassic Park, Far and Away, E.T.: Adventures on Earth, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Schindler’s List, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Star Wars.

As the New York World-Telegram & Sun describes: “In the basement of a long-abandoned restaurant, two hired killers nervously await their next assignment. Barred from daylight and living public contact by the nature of their work, they expend their waiting time in bickering. So eerie is the situation that everything becomes comic, or grotesque, or both. Ben re-reading a newspaper and exclaiming in disbelief over the news items, Gus fussing with an offstage stove and offstage plumbing. Ben bludgeoning Gus into silence if he as much as mentions their work. Gus worrying that someone had slept in his bed. So then the ancient dumbwaiter comes to life, the suspense becomes almost unbearable—that expertly has Pinter put the nerves of his characters and audience on edge."
