The Chicago Symphony Orchestra isn't the only arts organization presenting movies with live music in Chicago. Access Contemporary Music is getting ready to present its annual Sound of Silent Film Festival on April 29, which will be held at a new venue this year--the Music Box Theater, one of Chicago's top theaters for arthouse cinema.
"We were at the Chopin Theater for the past eight years," said Seth Boustead, director of Access Contemporary Music. "This is our most popular event, and we were selling out the festival every year. So we decided to take the plunge and move to a larger venue."
Every year, the Festival presents new silent films made by contemporary filmmakers, with new musical scores written by contemporary composers who are members of ACM.
