Cellist performs silent film soundtrack

The Clatskanie Arts Commission’s 35th annual performing arts series kicks off next weekend

at the beautiful Birkenfeld theatre in Clatskanie.

The first concert of the season will be with cellist Gideon Freudmann’s soundtrack for "Buster

Keaton's Sherlock, Jr." This slice of cinematic history accompanied by a contemporary composer’s

soundtrack lasts just under an hour. While silent

film may seem a bygone phenomenon, Buster

Keaton’s physical comedy and Freudmann’s

unique approach to cello will put a new twist on a

vintage cinematic experience.

Not your average silent-movie-goer’s cellist,

Freudmann plays what he terms “CelloBop”--a

spicy mix of jazz, classical, modern, and the blues.

Freudmann will perform a mini-concert prior to

screening. An international performer, Freudmann tours extensively and his work is featured

on television, in movies, and on the internet. Come

join us in the continuing celebration of Clatskanie

Arts Commission’s 35th year of programming.

Sunday, September 29 at 3 p.m. Birkenfeld Theatre 75 S. Nehalem Clatskanie, Oregon
