Improvised Silent Films
Anthony’s improvised accompaniments to classic silent movies are increasingly in demand around the world. A completely unique experience for the audience, these soundtracks have never been heard before and never will be again! A brilliant way to engage those who may not be intrigued by a traditional organ recital.

- The Phantom of the Opera (1925/9)
- King of Kings
- The Hunchback of Notre Dame
- Nosferatu
- Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
“….In celebration of Halloween, we screened a silent movie, and Anthony provided organ accompaniment. I felt that his playing was excellent: sensitive to the organ and space alike, and immaculately timed to the film itself…”
(Jonathan B. Hall, Music Director, Montclair, New Jersey)
