AUG 10 – FILM AND MUSIC: L’INFERNO
Sunday, August 10 at 8:30 pm
Appalachian Chamber Music Festival
Italian silent film “L’Inferno” (Dante’s Inferno, 1911), with reimagined original film accompaniment for violin and double bass by ACMF’s own Domenic Salerni!
Witness a unique intersection of cinematic history and contemporary music! Italy’s first feature film, “L’Inferno”, based on Dante’s Inferno by Giuseppe de Liguoro came to life in 1911. 99 years later, in 2010, our very own ACMF artist Domenic Salerni composed and premiered his original accompaniment to the film at the Yale Dante Symposium with Sam Suggs. We’re so lucky to have both of these special musicians at ACMF to perform this work.
