This UCLA Live-only event honors two cinematic geniuses: director Alfred Hitchcock and film composer Bernard Herrmann. Their fruitful collaboration from 1955 to 1964 included “The Man Who Knew Too Much,” “Vertigo” and “Psycho.” (Hermann even served as sound consultant on the music-less film “The Birds,” creating the creature’s noises.) Acclaimed organist Stephan Tharp – a composer and champion of new organ music – opens the program with adaptations of those films’ scores. Then UCLA’s own organist Christoph Bull – creator of the eclectic Organica concert series – provides a live improvised score to the early Hitchcock silent film, “The Lodger.”
