The King of Kings movie with David Briggs

THE KING OF KINGS

A rare showing of Cecil B DeMille’s epic silent film (1927) of the final years of the life of Jesus
…with live organ improvisation by international artist

DAVID BRIGGS at

St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church

7:30pm tickets $10/15

From Briggs’ reviews:

'King of Kings' was a stroke of genius; the feedback has been great. One lady today, (first saying she had no idea what to expect) called it a 'life changing experience'... having NO spoken words made it all the more powerful.”

Right at the beginning of the concert Briggs made it clear that this evening would not be boring ….

Here was a technician at work who knew how to thrill his audience, but also had the musicality and humor that one frequently misses with great virtuosos.
