FIVE-piece Cornish band Wurlitza will be entertaining audiences accompanying a silent film at St Paul's Church Hall, Yelverton, on Sunday, January 27.

Wurlitza will be presenting a live soundtrack to F W Murnau's film Sunrise — A Song of Two Humans. Lauded as one the greatest films of all time, Sunrise is also often considered to be the finest silent film ever made.

F W Murnau's film is a blend of expressionist bleakness and Hollywood optimism; a roller coaster of emotional tension. Underlying this is a beautiful love story. Murnau was able to draw upon the most extraordinary cinematographic effects of his time.

With a live soundtrack ranging from Bach, Chopin and Villa Lobas to Echo and the Bunnymen and Talking Heads, Wurlitza successfully connect the 1920s with the present in an evening that will appeal to all ages. The musical line up includes four-part vocal harmonies, classical and steel guitars, keyboards, clarinet, whistle, bass and djembe drums.
