ALBANY — The UAlbany Performing Arts Center presents a free screening of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari featuring an original score composed and conducted by Brett L. Wery. Played live by Quintocracy, the event takes place 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 12 on the uptown University at Albany campus located at 1400 Washington Ave.
Arguably the first true horror film and one considered the quintessential work of German Expressionist cinema, this silent film from 1920 was directed by Robert Wiene and written by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer.
Brett L. Wery is an active area composer/arranger and former conductor of UAlbany’s Symphony Orchestra. He is the Music Director/Conductor of the Capital Region Wind Ensemble in Schenectady and composer/editor for Sonata Grendel Publishing in Scotia. Quintocracy is a wind ensemble based in the Capital Region.
With funding from Saratoga Arts through their Community Arts Regrant Program, Quintocracy commissioned Wery to compose the score for The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
Admission to the event is free. No reservations or tickets are required. For further information, contact the UAlbany Performing Arts Center’s main office at 518-442-3995 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
