Take part in a fantastic new event sure to become an annual favorite. A six-peice chamber ensemble comprised of members of the Santa Clarita Symphony will perform live during a screening of Mary Pickford’s timeless classic silent film “Daddy Long Legs.”  The music, composed by Maria Newman, will be directed by guest conductor Hugh Munro Neely. Pickford produced and starred in the 1919 film as Judy Abbott, an orphan whose college education is paid for by an anonymous trustee she knows only as “Daddy-Long-Legs.” The comic gem was one of Pickford’s greatest successes upon its original release.

Experience this movie the way audiences did 90-years ago!  Featuring 87 minutes of music, this performance is sure to become a favorite.
