    "Saturday, March 9, 2013 from 7:00 PM Doors at 6:15 PM George Sarah performs a new score with strings and choir quartet featuring members of the Grammy nominated Los Angeles Master Chorale.   Freed Theater (Ground Level of The Welcoming Center) 12141 South Lewis Street Garden Grove, CA 92480 At Christ Cathedral (Formerly the Crystal Cathedral) All ages     Tickets http://joanofarc.eventbrite.com/   Preview Score by George Sarah http://soundcloud.com/christcathedralcc/joan-of-arc-overture   https://www.facebook.com/GeorgeSarahMusic   About the film: The Passion of Joan of Arc (French: La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc) is based on the trial records of Joan of Arc. The film, directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer and staring Renée Jeanne Falconetti, is widely regarded as a landmark of cinema, especially for Falconetti's performance, which has been described as being among the best in film history.  One of the best films ever made by over 100 critics. "You cannot know the history of silent film unless you know the face of Renée Jeanne Falconetti. In a medium without words, where the filmmakers believed that the camera captured the essence of characters through their faces, to see Falconetti in Dreyer's "The Passion of Joan of Arc" (1928) is to look into eyes that will never leave you." - -Roger Ebert-  "
