Friends of Music Hall is thrilled to announce the return of its popular silent film concert series, featuring the iconic 1924 silent film Peter Pan, accompanied by acclaimed organist Brett Valliant on the Mighty Wurlitzer Organ. This special family-friendly event will take place in the Music Hall Ballroom on Friday, April 24, 2025, at 7:00 p.m.
Based on J.M. Barrie’s classic play, Peter Pan (1924) was the first film adaptation of the beloved story and inspired the later Disney animated version.

Step into the magic of Neverland and embrace the timeless theme of Peter Pan! Guests are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite characters from the beloved tale—whether it’s Peter, Wendy, Captain Hook, or even Tinker Bell. The evening will be filled with whimsy and nostalgia, featuring themed snacks that evoke the spirit of Neverland, engaging activities for all ages, and a chance to lose yourself in a world where no one ever has to grow up. Don’t miss this enchanting opportunity to celebrate the story that has captured hearts for generations!
