The Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra

The Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra, a chamber quintet from Louisville Colorado, has a world-wide reputation for recreating the art of silent film music as it was played in movie theaters of the day. They compiled and performed their first film score in 1994, and since then have scored over 140 silent films for performances and recordings. Their large, full sound belies their small size (piano, violin, cello, clarinet, and trumpet), due to the talent of the arrangers of this repertoire of music and the chamber music experience of their musicians. Mont Alto’s 2017 album, Entreaty, was chosen as the “Album of the Week” for June 11, 2018, by KDFC Classical Radio in San Francisco.
