Returning to the Walker hillside, this year’s Sound for Silents features a live musical performance, in the year of the parable, from genre-hopping multi-instrumentalist composer deVon Russell Gray. Grab a blanket and cozy up at sunset for an electrifying evening of commissioned new music performed by a special ensemble—which includes Ariadne Greif, Davu Seru, Nathan Hanson, and Andrew Broder—paired with films from the Ruben/Bentson Moving Image Collection. This free event is open to all.

The event starts at 7:00 pm, with music from DJ Sarah White; the screening and performance start at 8:30 pm. Sound for Silents will be held rain or shine. In the event of rain or extreme weather, the show will be moved into the Walker Cinema with limited capacity.

The Rake’s Progress

The story concerns the decline and fall of Tom Rakewell

Opera director Omer Ben Seadia and music director Christian Reif lead an all-star cast in an exquisite production of Igor Stravinsky’s delightfully clever opera, The Rake’s Progress. The story concerns the decline and fall of Tom Rakewell, who deserts his rural country town and girlfriend Anne Trulove for the delights of London. Being seduced by greed and fame under the spell of his devilish companion, Nick Shadow, Tom meets his moral, mental, and physical demise. The closing moral of the tale is: “For idle hearts and hands and minds the Devil finds work to do.”

Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
