about the peacherine ragtime society orchestra


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra (PRSO) is “the premier American ragtime ensemble” as hailed by the Washington Post, and is rapidly becoming the leading professional ragtime orchestra in the United States. Formed by young virtuoso Andrew Greene at the University of Maryland, the PRSO recreates the syncopated stylings of a bygone era – ragtime, theater and dance music, as well as underscoring classic silent films using Mr. Greene’s collection of over 15,000 musical selections.

PRSO has repeatedly appeared at leading venues including The Kennedy Center, The Library of Congress, The American Film Institute, and at concert halls across the United States.

about the film


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nosferatu: A Symphony Of Horror is a German Expressionist horror film directed by the legendary F.W. Murnau, and stars Max Schreck as the vampire Count Orlok. In this first-ever screen adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897), what is supposed to be a simple real estate transaction leads an intrepid businessman deep into the heart of Transylvania, and the castle of the otherworldly Count Orlok, portrayed by the legendary Max Schreck in a performance which has spawned its own mythology. But is the Count just the wealthy eccentric that he appears to be or something much more sinister?

Released in 1922, the film was an unauthorized adaptation of Dracula, and Stoker’s heirs sued over the adaptation. A court ruling ordered that all copies of the film be destroyed. However, several prints of Nosferatu survived, and the film has since been regarded as an influential masterpiece of cinema.

 

about the music


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The music you are hearing accompanying the film is a historically authentic scoring for Nosferatu. Consisting of classical themes and silent film “cues” (the music written to accompany motion pictures before the introduction of sound), you’ll hear a variety of music by the great silent film era composers – Gaston Borch, Irenee Berge, Adolf Minot, J.E. Andino, Otto Langey, and others… names which have since been lost to history. Back during the silent film era, these compilation scores were the way to hear and accompany the films of the silver screen.

The orchestra accompanying the film is a direct recreation of the standard “11-and-piano” theater orchestra, common in medium to large sized theaters during the 1910s and 1920s. These theater orchestras once existed in every major vaudeville and movie palace, and performed everything from the latest pop music of the day, to accompanying vaudeville singers and dancers, burlesque shows, stage plays, and of course, movies.

 

land acknowledgment


land

Utah Valley University acknowledges that we gather on land sacred to all Indigenous people who came before us in this vast crossroads region. The University is committed to working in partnership—as enacted through education and community activities—with Utah’s Native Nations comprising: the San Juan Southern Paiute, Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, Uintah & Ouray Reservation of the Northern Ute, Skull Valley Goshute, Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation, Northwestern Band of Shoshone Nation, Hopi Tribe, Navajo Nation, Ute Mountain Ute-White Mesa Community, and urban Indian communities. We recognize these Native Nations and their continued connections with traditional homelands, mountains, rivers, and lakes as well as their sovereign relationships with state and federal governments. We honor their collective memory and continued physical and spiritual presence. We revere their resilience and example in preserving their connections to the Creator and to all their relations, now and in the future.

With this statement comes responsibility and accountability. We resolve to follow up with actionable items to make the School of the Arts at UVU and The Noorda Center for the Performing Arts an inclusive, equitable, and just space for all. There is much work to be done, and we are committed to putting these words into practice.
