About the Concert

A Journey to the Moon - as early as 1929, Fritz Lang dared to take a visionary look into the future with "Woman in the Moon". The silent film, based on a screenplay by Thea von Harbou, is considered one of the first serious science fiction films. With scientific precision and fantastic elements, it tells the story of an ambitious moon expedition that is overshadowed by greed and betrayal.

Lang's spirit of innovation is evident not only in the impressive special effects and the introduction of the now iconic countdown before the rocket launch, but also in his precise depiction of space technology - groundbreaking and surprisingly forward-thinking at the time.

On this evening, the film will be accompanied live by Cameron Carpenter, an exceptional artist on the organ. His virtuoso and unconventional playing style gives the classic a new dimension. An adventure for the eyes, ears, and imagination!
