Old Chaplin, New Music

Brooklyn-born, UK-based composer Carl Davis joins us to talk about writing scores for three of Charlie Chaplin's greatest shorts: The Rink (1916), The Immigrant (1916), and The Adventurer (1917). The films will be screened as part of the Celebrate Brooklyn festival later this week, and Davis will conduct the chamber orchestra The Knights.

Carl Davis and The Knights will perform "The Charlie Chaplin Mutuals" Friday at the Prospect Park bandshell as part of Celebrate Brooklyn. The show will start at 7:30 p.m.
