Aelita: Queen of Mars is a transformative performer and collaborator in the world of silent film music. Originating from the legacy of the 1924 science fiction classic Aelita, Queen of Mars has helped bring the original score by Dmitri Shostakovich back into contemporary performance. Over the decades, live-score reinterpretations have celebrated the film’s pioneering art direction and its visionary set design, which earned recognition at the 1925 Paris Exposition for its designers and directors. Today, Aelita remains a focal point for innovative orchestral and contemporary arrangements that pair film history with fresh musical voices.
