Silent Movies Live

Wednesday 1 October | 7.00pm

Pianist David Selfe and percussionist Jeremy Fitzsimons add live musical accompaniment to two silent Charlie Chaplin films selected from: The Pawn Shop (1916), A Dog’s Life (1918), and The Kid (1921).

All music is composed by pianist, David Selfe, and arranged by percussionist Jeremy Fitzsimons with a degree of improvisation and interaction between piano, percussion, and the film. From high-paced action scenes to melancholic moments this performance represents a true lost art-form not to be missed. With a new live score to two of Charlie’s movies. Instrumentation includes piano & Percussion (xylophone, vibraphone, glockenspiel, timpani, snare drum, temple blocks, musical saw, jaw harp, and many other small sound effects and auxiliary percussion.

Suitable for the whole family.
