The Pilgrim, C. Chaplin Film concerto

Experience the timeless wit of Charlie Chaplin in a breathtaking, one‑night-only event: “The Pilgrim, an Enchanted Chaplin Film Concerto.” Set to be restored on the big screen, this 1923 silent comedy—one of Chaplin’s last shorts before his leap to feature films—follows an escaped convict who, to evade justice, masquerades as a pastor and finds refuge in a quiet Texas town. Through comedy, tender moments, and sharp social satire, the film playfully exposes the contradictions of contemporary America with Chaplin’s unmistakable lightness. The audience is treated to a full‑orchestra soundtrack originally composed by Chaplin in 1959, masterfully restored and re‑orchestrated by maestro Timothy Brock. Each score follows the film’s moods and rhythms, turning the screening into an intense synesthetic experience that marries silent cinema with a living, breathing score. Don’t miss this evening of Chaplin’s genius and the magic of live music, where a beloved classic is reborn through a fresh, irresistible sonic perspective. Details & tickets.
