In other news, I had the good fortune on Saturday night to attend a screening of Universal’s classic Dracula (1931) featuring a live performance of the score by Philip Glass and the Kronos Quartet. Let me tell you, it was amazing – the perfect way to get into the Halloween spirit. If you ever had the chance to experience this, or a similar classic film with live music, I highly recommend it. For those of you who live in the Bay area, they’re performing it again tomorrow night (10/31) at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland. Here’s the link.
Stay tuned…
