Overview
Just in time for Halloween, you’ll experience this chilling classic with new eyes and ears as the orchestra performs the score live in sync with the big screen. Quite shocking at the time of its 1960 release, Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho was the first “slasher” flick; it became a popular success and one of the most influential events in cinematic history, all the more remarkable because of its small budget. It was not only the performances by Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins which brought accolades, but also the groundbreaking music by Bernard Herrmann (Citizen Kane, The Birds, Cape Fear). Like Hitchcock, Herrmann was an innovator who developed his own methods and language quite apart from the trusted conventions of Hollywood scoring.
