Sumner McKane Group’s live score for Nanook Of The North from Sumner McKane on Vimeo.
Hey. A pretty cool thing is shaping up for this winter.
The Sumner McKane Group (of which I am a member) will be reprising our live score/film event. We are once again presenting our live original score for the silent film “Nanook of the North,” which includes the group performing live, accompanying a screening of the film. It’s a truly unique and dynamic experience, where the music from the band and motion of the film combine and create a concert event like none other. It’s honestly one of my favorite pieces of music I’ve ever been involved with.
This was written and first performed in the spring of 2008. We’ve reprised it several times since then. We even got a chance to record the score, rearranged as a stand-alone CD/digital download, and it was generously received by NPR’s Echoes program, who came to Sumner’s place to do a Living Room concert.
And now, several years later, we will be performing it live once again in New England. Stay tuned here for updates on events as they are announced. If you are interested in booking/presenting the Sumner McKane Group performing our live score to “Nanook of the North,” please email me here.
I’m excited. I hope you are, too.
