The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari: Silent film with live score by Eric Sweeney & 3epkano

St Canice’s has played host to many unique events over the years, but until now it has never screened a movie. This year, WIRED favourites 3epkano have joined forces with leading Irish organist and composer Eric Sweeney to devise and perform a brand new live score to The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, one of the masterpieces of silent cinema. Under the imposing vault of St Canice’s, it’s sure to send a chill down the spine.

Eric Sweeney is organist and choirmaster of Christ Church Cathedral, Waterford. A well-known composer, his music has been commissioned by RTÉ and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. He has given recitals all over the world and is noted for his improvisations to silent movies such as Phantom of the Opera, Dracula and Nosferatu.

By now 3epkano should need no introduction. Curators of WIRED in 2008, they’ve been back every year since, bringing their unique brand of cinematic soundscapes to Kilkenny. Since forming in 2004 they’ve played headline shows in both Ireland and the US to great critical acclaim, and devised live scores for everything from Tron to Sunrise and Faust.
