If you're itching for a throwback evening filled with the whimsical tunes of ragtime and the charm of silent cinema, then head over to the Huffines Performance Hall of Lewisville Grand Theater this Friday. The Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra is gearing up to deliver an orchestral score live for the 1925 silent film classic, "The Freshman." The event, slated for March 7 at 7:30 p.m., is part of the much-anticipated Lewisville Centennial Celebration, according to the City of Lewisville.
What stands out about this unique performance is its nostalgic salute to a bygone era. Tickets have been pegged at $25 for reserved seating, and securing your spot is as easy as visiting the theater's website. The Grand, Lewisville's crown jewel for arts and entertainment, has a rich agenda of live music, theater, and comedy shows— and this night is set to be a vivid page out of that book.
The Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra, praised by the press as the premier American ragtime ensemble, brings life to "The Freshman"—a humorous look at 1920s university life starring Harold Lloyd. Alongside the feature film, the 12-piece band will perform several standalone pieces from the ragtime and early jazz repertoire. It's a fusion of sight and sound that promises to resonate with audiences across generations.
