What a perfect pre-holiday treat! Grammy-nominated violinist Philippe Quint brings his critically acclaimed multimedia show to CMM in a joyful 75-minute performance (no intermission) that will surprise and delight.
Most people know Charlie Chaplin as the genius of silent film comedy, but did you know he composed the music for nearly all of his movies? Quint interweaves Chaplin’s poignant, melody-rich compositions with music by the composers who inspired him, including Brahms, Debussy, Stravinsky, and Gershwin, while rare film clips play on screen.
Playing on a 1708 Stradivarius violin, Quint narrates Chaplin’s remarkable life story with elegance, touching emotion, and wit.
