A Night at the Movies: Buster Keaton’s “The General”

Guarneri Hall

11 East Adams, 3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60603 United States

Thursday, April 3, 2025 @ 6:30 pm 8:30 pm CDT

Building on last year’s exuberant screening of Sherlock Jr accompanied by original live music, the brilliant pianist and composer of silent film scores Stephen Prutsman will return to Guarneri Hall to present another hilarious Buster Keaton evening.

On this season’s marquee is a screening of Keaton’s classic silent film The General with Prutsman’s original score, played live by Prutsman himself and members of NEXUS Chamber Music. Keaton’s 1926 Civil War comedy is generally regarded as his best work and was selected by the Library of Congress in 1989 to be included in the first class of films for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

Artists: Stephen Prutsman, piano and composer; Steven Copes and Gabriela Lara, violins; Doyle Armbrust, viola; Lidanys Graterol, cello.
