Bruckner festival: Charlie Chaplins The Tramp - Schulkonzert 10+

Bruckner Festival presents a one‑of‑a‑kind Schulkonzert for audiences aged 10 and older, where the worlds of silent cinema and grand organ harmonise in perfect time. In this special event, students will experience the timeless comedy of Charlie Chaplin’s 1915 classic *The Tramp*—a short film that already showcases Chaplin’s signature slapstick and heartwarming storytelling. While the tramp saves a young woman from robbers, gives her gratitude by working on her father's farm, and falls in love, the film’s humor unfolds with Chaplin’s unmatched wit and charm. The film’s emotional beats and comic timing receive a fresh, alive accompaniment from world‑class organist Cameron Carpenter, who cranks up the largest instrument in Brucknerhaus for an improvised live score. A devoted Chaplin fan himself, Carpenter brings the silent film to life with dazzling, instinctive organ flourishes that echo the film’s spirit. After the screening, he will unveil his “one‑man orchestra,” sharing the personal, almost mystical relationship he has with the organ and procession through the remarkable soundscapes. Don’t miss this unique fusion of cinematic and musical artistry that invites young fans to sit front‑row and experience Chaplin’s early brilliance alongside a world‑renowned organist.
