About the Performances 

The Earles is a chamber jazz group of musicians (and Catholic University faculty members) Andrew Earle Simpson (keyboard), Chris DeChiara (drums), and guest artists Scott Van Domelen (saxophone) and Bake Meister (bass). Tonight’s program features jazz styles from the 1920’s, mid-century standards, and original tunes. 

A Little Silent Night Music features winter-themed silent films, animations and videos accompanied by live music. Renowned silent film musician Andrew Earle Simpson, resident film accompanist at the National Gallery of Art and the Library of Congress’ Packard Campus Theater, will accompany the program with his original scores.
