The Virginia Tech Philharmonic, under the direciton of Mathias Elmer, presents a screening of the original 1931 film Frankenstein, performing the film score by Michael Shapiro in an evening School of Performing Arts concert.

Shapiro was commissioned in 2001 by the Chappaqua Orchestra’s Boris Koutzen Memorial Fund to write the movie score for the classic film Frankenstein (1931), directed by James Whale and starring Colin Clive and Boris Karloff. The world premiere of the work with live orchestra and film occurred in October 2002 at the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Jacob Burns Film Center in New York and, since its premiere, has received over 60 productions worldwide.
