Metropolis w/ The Anvil Orchestra

Join us at The Cabot for a silent film featuring a live score – 1927’s Metropolis with music by The Anvil Orchestra!

Metropolis is Fritz Lang’s German science-fiction classic that presents a highly stylized futuristic city where a beautiful and cultured utopia exists above a bleak underworld populated by mistreated workers. When the privileged youth Freder (Gustav Fröhlich) discovers the grim scene under the city, he becomes intent on helping the workers. He befriends the rebellious teacher Maria (Brigitte Helm), but this puts him at odds with his authoritative father, leading to greater conflict.

Formed in May 2021, The Anvil Orchestra is a silent film-accompanying ensemble featuring two members of the world-renowned Alloy Orchestra – Terry Donahue (Concussion Ensemble) on drums, percussion, and accordion, and Roger Clark Miller (Mission of Burma, Trinary System) on keyboard/synthesizer. Boston percussionist Lawrence Dersch joins The Anvil Orchestra for films that require a larger percussive sound such as “Metropolis” and “Man with the Movie Camera” and “The Lost World.” The Anvil Orchestra plays percussion-driven original scores to silent classics utilizing unusual sound sources as well as accordion, musical saw, electronics, and orchestral keyboards.
