Next week, VideoFest will open its 27^th edition with an event that’s part film, part music. The Dallas Chamber Symphony will perform a brand-new score that syncs up with Alfred Hitchcock’s silent film, The Lodger. This week, we talk to the man who will be conducting the musicians that night.

The Lodger screens Oct. 8 at City Performance Hall.
