'The Last Haw' extended to July 23

Because of popular demand, Lumedia Musicworks extended the run of its quirky, silent short film "The Last Haw." It features the music ensemble's performance of French composer Joseph-Nicolas-Pancrace Royer's "Le Vertigo." It also stars El Paso native and musician Molly Hammond, a harpsichordist.

Lumedia, a nonprofit music ensemble focused on performing and showcasing early music - music composed before 1750, produces short films to help present the music to modern audiences. To see "The Last Haw" at no charge go to https://www.lumediamusicworks.com/season.

Lumedia uses historical reproductions of instruments from the baroque, renaissance and medieval periods, all at historical pitch. There is nocharge to view "The Last Haw," but donations are welcome. Lumedia's core team is highly trained in historically-informed performance practices.

The story created for "The Last Haw" was inspired by and set to the music "Le Vertigo," a harpsichord piece written in 1746. The silent western concept was the brainchild of Julianna Emanski, artistic director, and directed by Derrick Robert Brown of Dallas in the historic White Elephant Saloon in Fort Worth.
