The Golden Globe-nominated “The Music of Silence” will be screened at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, in The Cole Art Center.
Directed by Michael Radford, “The Music of Silence” is based on the life of Italian opera tenor Andrea Bocelli, who was born with an eye condition that eventually leads to blindness.

The film is based on the novel of the same name written by Bocelli and Anna Pavignano.
