About
Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra
“Let the music do the talking.”
The Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra is a five piece chamber ensemble that revives the repertoire of silent film orchestras. Using historic libraries of “photoplay music,” and selecting and fitting a piece of music for each scene in the film, Mont Alto compiles vibrant and emotional scores using the original techniques of silent film orchestras.
“The results are often breathtakingly beautiful and always in the strict service of the film on the screen.” (Dave Kehr, The New York Times.)
Since 1994, Mont Alto has compiled and performed over 150 silent film scores, performing at venues from the Telluride Film Festival to the Turner Classic Movies Festival. and from New York City to San Francisco.
