On Monday, February 23, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., a Kilgen Theatre Organ performance will be held in the Devon Great Hall at the Oklahoma History Center featuring organist Brett Miller accompanying the Harold Lloyd silent film Safety Last (1923). The film is best known for a stunt that made cinematic history, in which Lloyd is filmed hanging precariously from the hands of a large clock, dangling over city traffic at the height of a skyscraper.

Miller will make his Oklahoma History Center debut with this performance. His recent scores have been recorded with organizations such as the Eye Filmmuseum, the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau Foundation and Kino Lorber Classics. He has been featured in the past at various film festivals and has played events in conjunction with film preservationists from the Library of Congress and the George Eastman Museum. Miller has been a featured artist at the Philadelphia Orchestra and Kimmel Center’s annual Organ Day, an event he attended as a young organist in its first year. He is a frequent recitalist at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, playing the world’s largest pipe organ.

Tickets are $10 for Oklahoma Historical Society members and $20 for the general public and are available by calling 405-522-0765.
