Clark Wilson is one of the most prominent and recognized scorers of silent photoplays in America today. He works exclusively with the unit orchestra in developing accurate and historic musical accompaniments as they were performed in major motion picture palaces during the heyday of the silent film.
Wilson began his scoring career in 1980 and has successfully toured with hundreds of film presentations at schools and universities, concert halls and performing arts centers, theatres, film festivals, and conventions. He is the organist of choice for many of the American Theatre Organ Society’s international convention silent-film presentations, has performed at American Guild of Organists and Organ Historical Society conventions and the East Texas Pipe Organ Festival, and has scored pictures for Kino International for public DVD release. He currently enjoys creating scores for (and working with Suzanne Lloyd on the presentation of) classic Harold Lloyd comedies. His work has encompassed North America, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
Wilson was presented with the American Theatre Organ Society’s Organist of the Year award in 1998. A successful organ technician, tonal finisher, and consultant, he runs his own organ shop and has been professionally involved with over 200 pipe organ installations to date. Most recently, he has headed projects to save and transplant a late Aeolian-Skinner instrument from Ohio State University, and to relocate a large Wurlitzer organ to Ohio Dominican University in Columbus. He has earned the ATOS Technician of Merit award, the first of only two persons ever to receive both ATOS distinctions.  My Best Girl , released in 1924, is a classic romantic comedy in every aspect. The shopgirl (played by Mary Pickford) falls in love with the shop owner's son (played by Charles  Buddy  Rogers). Their journey will bring both a smile to your face and a tear to your eye. Clark will cue the film using his original score at the Graif's Allen GW-4Q digital unit orchestra. If you have never experienced viewing a silent film cued by a consummate musician, you must not miss this event!
