Presentation by Philippe Quint
Music by Chaplin, Brahms, Debussy, Stravinsky, and Gershwin
Did you know that Charlie Chaplin, one of the greatest silent movie actors and most iconic figures of the early film industry, was also a talented composer?
To celebrate Chaplin’s 133rd birthday (he was born on April 16, 1889), we present Philippe Quint’s critically-acclaimed multimedia program. Inspired by the violinist’s successful 2019 album Chaplin’s Smile (Warner Classics), the program returns to New York City for its premiere in an all-new format. Quint’s unique arrangements of songs from Chaplin’s most celebrated films (Modern Times, City Lights, Monsieur Verdoux, The Kid, Limelight, and A King in New York) are interspersed with rare footage of the actor, along with still images and video clips from his films. The program also features music by composers who influenced Chaplin’s musical style – Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Stravinsky, and Gershwin.
Don’t miss this interactive performance, featuring Philippe Quint’s captivating narration as well as some surprise guests!
“I think it’s amazing that in 2019, 130 years after his birth, my grandfather Charlie Chaplin is still around and loved by so many, that even 105 years after his first movie was made, he still surprises people. Philippe Quint’s new album Chaplin’s Smile is allowing him to be discovered by a whole new audience as a talented composer, a side of him many people did not know.”
