If there’s anything better than catching an amazing film on the big screen, it’s doing so while a live orchestra performs its soundtrack. That’s exactly the experience Wordless Music and Sister Midnight are bringing to movie buffs in the city next year.
The initiative is a collaboration between Wordless Music and the events company Sister Midnight, and will feature Jonathan Glazer’s Under the Skin (2013), Ti West’s Pearl (2022), Ari Aster’s Hereditary (2018), and Bo Burnham’s Eighth Grade (2018). The series is called Four Nights of A24 Films with Live Scores and will be held at the United Theater.
