The Rats & People Motion Picture Orchestra is coming to Joplin for a special, double-feature of Buster Keaton films!
Join Connect2Culture and this St. Louis orchestra on Saturday, April 12 and witness how silent films were meant to be experienced — with live orchestral accompaniment.
Rats & People Motion Picture Orchestra
Saturday, April 12 | 4:00 pm | Tickets: $22.10–$27.30 | Harry M. Cornell Arts & Entertainment Complex
The Rats and People Motion Picture Orchestra (RPMPO) is St. Louis’ premiere silent film accompaniment ensemble. The group has been composing and performing original scores for classic films since 2007, and now offer dozens of programs from the legendary (e.g., Murnau’s Nosferatu) to the woefully underappreciated (e.g., Weber’s The Blot). The RPMPO seeks to help silent filmmakers’ voices persist by pairing carefully composed, live musical accompaniment that supports the filmmaker’s vision. For their visit to Joplin, the group will perform a double feature of Buster Keaton silent films: The High Sign (21 min) and Sherlock Jr. (45 min)
This performance is part of the Ignite Series, which is made possible by Sharon & Lance Beshore.
