Family Cinema Concert: Ulrich Walther, organ

Description

Organist Ulrich Walther takes the audience on a journey back to the golden age of silent films. In Buster Keaton's One Week, a newlywed couple is gifted a house delivered as a kit. Silly Symphonies is a series of 75 animated shorts that Walt Disney studios used for trying out new animation techniques. Charlie Chaplin explored the characteristics of his now legendary tramp character in his early short A Night in the Show. These moving pictures from a century ago are commented on and coloured by Ulrich Walther improvising music on the Musiikkitalo organ. Program: Charles Chaplin: A Night in the Show (1915) Walt Disney: Silly Symphonies/Epyptian Melodies (1931) Buster Keaton: One Week (1920)
