Hello, my name is George Sarah. I'm a composer and I will be performing my new score for Sergei Eisenstein’s groundbreaking 1925 silent film Battleship Potemkin, now re-imagined with string quartet, vocal quartet, and synths/electronics. This will be at the historic Art Theatre Long Beach.

More about the program. I'm copying and paste from press release.
Known for bridging electronic, classical and chamber music traditions, Sarah brings his unique sonic voice to this cinematic masterpiece into a multi-sensory experience. The film charts the 1905 uprising aboard the Russian battleship Potemkin, a cinematic landmark whose montage, rhythm and emotional energy still resonate. Under Sarah’s score, the visuals are echoed and amplified: the strings underscore dramatic tension and camaraderie; the voices give human edge to mass uprising; the electronics add depth and contemporary resonance. The result is an event where silent-film history meets live music vitality. This isn’t just a screening—it’s a concert, a revival, and a moment of connection between film, sound, and live presence. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience one of cinema’s boldest works with a live score crafted for today’s audience. 100% on Rotten tomatoes.
