Once again we are thrilled to provide a special presentation of a classic silent era film, in partnership with the National Music Center. Chris Maric will be supplying a full live soundtrack to the film using some of the NMC's incredible collection of instruments including keyboards, percussion, theramins and other electronic instruments. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see these classic movies the way they were originally viewed...

About the Film:
Three Ages
USA / Comedy / Silent with Live Music / 63 min / Ages 8+

Three plots in three different historical periods—prehistoric times, ancient Rome, and modern times (the Roaring Twenties)—are intercut to prove the point that men's love for woman have not significantly changed throughout history. In all three plots, characters played by Buster Keaton and Wallace Beery compete for the attention of the same woman, played by Margaret Leahy.

About the Musician:
Chris Maric is a Calgary-based musician who has performed and worked with Cantos Music Foundation and a wide variety of musical groups across the country. Chris’ passion for creating live soundtracks for silent movies is evident in his performances, both musically and visually.

After the film, come up and try out some of the unique instruments used in the performance like this Theramin...

For this performance, Chris will be performing solo with an assortment of instruments courtesy of Cantos Music Foundation, coupled with an exuberant energy for a performance that is not to be missed.

Audience members are invited on stage after the performance for an opportunity to try out some of the instruments.

Join us on Sunday March 3rd, 2013 at 1:30pm for this special event for the whole family.
