Night of the Hunter
New England Conservatory
11th Annual Film Noir Series
Thursday, April 14, 2016 at 7:30pm
NEC’s Jordan Hall
Directed by Ran Blake &
Aaron Hartley
Pianist/composer/improviser Ran Blake and trombonist Aaron Hartley celebrate their 11th year co-producing New England Conservatory‘s famed Film Noir series with Night of the Hunter, a tantalizing mélange of scenes from Charles Laughton‘s 1955 classic “The Night of the Hunter.” The film is based on a Davis Grubb novel about the true story of murderer Harry Powers.
As Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, and Lillian Gish play out the dark tale of love, mystery, and religious fanaticism on the screen, students and faculty from NEC’s groundbreaking Contemporary Improvisation department keep you on the edge of your seat, heightened by new music created by NEC musicians.

This free concert takes place at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 14 at NEC’s Jordan Hall, 290 Huntington Avenue, Boston. For more information, log on to http://necmusic.edu/event/14133 or call 617-585-1260.
