MCC to Screen of “Nosferatu” with Accompanying Music by Alum
Middlesex Community College will continue the Fall 2022 "A World of Music" concert series with a performance by the Dylan Jack Quartet.
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the film “Nosferatu,” Middlesex Community College’s Music department will hold a performance as part of the Fall 2022 “A World of Music” concert series and MCC’s Film Series at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 20 at MCC’s Richard and Nancy Donahue Family Academic Arts Center in Lowell.
The 1922 W. Murnau German Expressionist horror film will be presented with accompanying music presented by the Dylan Jack Quartet, led by MCC Music alum Dylan Jack, drummer.
“The Dylan Jack Quartet's presentation of ‘Nosferatu: Eine Symphonie des Grauens’ is an original improvised score that is anchored with five main musical themes representing the four main characters Hutter, Ellen, Knock and Nosferatu, and the fifth being the plague,” Jack said. “These themes develop along with each character as the film progresses and moods change. It's our hope that the themes create an unspoken dialogue on the screen that leaves the door open for audience interpretation and therefore gives those in attendance a whole new way to experience this iconic film.”
