SILENT MOVIE...Charlie Chaplin

Classics of the silent film era return to the big screen at the Brandon Town Hall on Saturday, May 2, starting at 7:00 pm. These films continue to be a Free Will Offering event. The first in our Annual series of 6 Silent Films is a program devoted to iconic screen comic Charlie Chaplin, whose movies rocked theaters with laughter around the world throughout the silent era. Live music for each program is provided by Jeff Rapsis, a New Hampshire-based performer and composer who specializes in scoring silent films. In accompanying silent films live, Rapsis uses a digital synthesizer to recreate the texture of the full orchestra. He improvised the music in real time, as the movie is shown. Sponsors are: Bill and Kathy Mathis in honor of our good friend Maxine Thurston.
