In October, The McKnight Center will welcome back organist Peter Krasinski to perform an improvised music score accompanying the silent film Nosferatu. The Center will host its 4th Annual Chamber Music Festival in November, followed by a unique viewing of The Polar Express In Concert, which pairs the beloved animated film with a live soundtrack by the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra in December. Other noteworthy performances include Broadway icon Bernadette Peters in a special Valentine's Day show, Oklahoma soprano Sarah Coburn, Tower of Power, South Pacific and two National Geographic Live shows, one of which will focus on "Greenwood: A Century of Resilience" during Black History Month 2022.
