Keaton and Chaplin: Live Music Accompaniment

Join us for screenings of Buster Keaton's, THE GENERAL (1926), and Charlie Chaplin's, THE IMMIGRANT (1917) with live musical accompaniment. ABOUT THE FILMS: THE GENERAL, Buster Keaton- After being rejected by the Confederate military, not realizing it was due to his crucial civilian role, an engineer must single-handedly recapture his beloved locomotive after it is seized by Union spies and return it through enemy lines. THE IMMIGRANT, Charlie Chaplin- Charlie is an immigrant who endures a challenging voyage and gets into trouble as soon as he arrives in America. LIVE MUSIC BRUCE VOGT Bruce Vogt is a Canadian pianist who has devoted a distinguished career to performing and teaching. He has toured cities and towns of all sizes throughout North America, Europe, and Asia as a soloist and chamber musician. He has mentored generations of young artists in his role as professor of piano at the University of Victoria, and has lectured widely, leading master classes, workshops, and adjudicating for festivals. Bruce has sustained an interest in exploring the many conversations to be found between music and film, literature and painting. This has evolved into an unusual side hustle: improvising accompaniments for the great films of the silent era. He has developed a robust career in this multimedia sphere bringing sound to many masterpieces -- by Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd, Griffith, Sjöström, Von Sternberg and many others. In movie theaters across Europe, Asia, and North America, he has provided for audiences a greater intimacy with these films, transforming the silence of the medium into another sphere.
