Grant Award for Silent Film Orchestra!

The Armstrong County Community Foundation has provided St. John's Lutheran Church with a $1900.00 grant for 2012!  

This generous grant will allow us to provide a live theatre orchestra to accompany the main film showing for the 2012 - 6th Annual - St. John's Lutheran: Silent Movie Night.

Our feature film that evening will be A Modern Musketeer (1917) and will be accompanied by an eleven piece theatre orchestra under the direction of Mr. Stephen Lipnichan of Pittsburgh.

As organizers of the Silent Movie Night, Jeff Boarts and I would like to thank St. John's for their continuing support of the arts in the Kittanning, and the wider Armstrong County community, we are grateful that St. John's continues in the fine Lutheran tradition of seeing art and music as an extension of God's love and our response to it.  Soli Deo Gloria!

We would also like to thank the dedicated and very generous donors, staff, and trustees at the ACCF for considering our application, and granting us this wonderful financial gift.

More details about the film program, our orchestral approach to the film's musical accompaniment, the ACCF and the orchestra's personel will follow.
