An evening with Charlie Chaplin

De Montfort Hall

	Modern Times

Also this evening :

Pre-concert talk: Carl Davis with John Florance

Charlie Chaplin’s film Modern Times is considered one of his greatest achievements; the Philharmonia is therefore delighted to present the film this evening with live music conducted by Carl Davis. The film shows Chaplin’s iconic ‘Little Tramp’ character against the backdrop of the industrialised world of the Great Depression: scenes move from an assembly line to prison to a factory to a café, and although the film contains Chaplin’s slapstick humour it is also a comment on the employment conditions of the time. The original score was composed by Chaplin himself and the ‘romance’ theme has become one of the most well-known songs of the century, first recorded by Nat King Cole.

Modern Times, music by Charlie Chaplin. Arranged by Edward Powell and David Raksin (1936). Restored and reconstructed by Timothy Brock (2000)
