Highly acclaimed concert organist Christoph Bull, who has been University Organist and Professor at UCLA since 2002, will play his own original score to <I>The General</I>. Bull's dramatic score, which blends seamlessly with the train chases and breath-taking stunt work shown on-screen, will add color and excitement to Keaton's comic masterpiece. <BR><BR>Bull will also join the orchestra on the second half of the program for a performance of Saint Saens' powerful "Organ Symphony", a work widely recognized as the main theme in the 1995 Academy Award-winning movie <I>Babe</I>. This combination of classic and popular film, pipe organ and orchestra will make this event a uniquely Paramount Theatre experience! .<BR><BR><I><B><FONT SIZE="2">(Suitable for children 7 and over.)</FONT></B></I></FONT></TD> <TD WIDTH="13" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="LEFT"> </TD> <TD WIDTH="180" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="../image/200910/bull-wurlitzer.JPG" ALT="Christoph Bull" ALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="180" BORDER="0"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="-1"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0"><FONT COLOR="#505050"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="-1"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/line-horiz.JPG" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="1" BORDER="0"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="6" BORDER="0"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="5" BORDER="0">"<I>Christoph Bull brings 1960s cool to the organ."</I> </FONT><BR><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="-1">~ Los Angeles Times</FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="-1"><FONT COLOR="#505050"><FONT COLOR="#505050"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="6" BORDER="0"><I><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/line-horiz.JPG" WIDTH="100" HEIGHT="1" BORDER="0"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/homepage/10x10.JPG" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="15" BORDER="0"><BR><IMG SRC="../image/200910/wurlitzer.JPG" ALT="The Mighty Wurlitzer" ALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="180" HEIGHT="241" BORDER="0"></I></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BODY>
