Peter Krasinski
Organist Peter Krasinski returns to The McKnight Center for his fourth season, this time to bring to life J.M. Barrie’s tale of the boy who refused to grow up, Peter Pan. This silent adventure film, first released in 1927, was celebrated at the time for its innovative use of in-camera special effects that are still impressive to today’s audience.
