Pianist pays homage to Charlie Chaplin
Listen Locally returns to the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall for its third season with a mixed media salute to iconic film auteur and comic genius Charlie Chaplin. “Tom Roberts Charlie Chaplin Silent Picture Show” opens the series in the Music Hall at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 30.
An internationally regarded proponent of early jazz piano, Roberts has composed new scores for two of Chaplin’s earliest works, both of which will be performed at Carnegie Carnegie Hall. The Oct. 30 program will feature “The Rink” (1916), “The Pawn Shop” (1916) and conclude with “Kid Auto Races at Venice” (2014). Roberts, who will provide introductory commentary for the films, will be joined by clarinetist Marybeth Mallick for the performance.
“Tom Roberts Charlie Chaplin Silent Picture Show” will last about an hour and be followed by a coffee and dessert reception with the musicians.
Tickets for the Listen Locally series are $15 and may be purchased at the box office on Oct. 30.
