Silent Film Accompaniment
I have studied silent films most of my career and have lectured on them, as well accompanied them at Sacred Heart University (CT), Fairfield University (CT), Pomparaug Woods (CT), Nyack Community Center (NY), the Player's Club (NY), Community College of Allegheny County (PA), and Plum Hills School (CT) as well as other schools, private institutions and concert halls in the Northeast.
Since 2005, I have performed yearly at the Cannon Grange in Wilton, CT.
2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 | 2012 | 2013 |
...and have performed at the Wilton Library, Meadow Ridge in Redding, the Wood Memorial Library in East Hartford, as well as Cannon Grange in Wilton.
