Silent Film Night: The Clown Princes
Relive the golden age of silent film as Rick Benjamin returns to lead the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra in live accompaniment to three classic comedies starring Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd. A featured artist on PBS’ Great Performances, Benjamin has conducted nearly 800 silent film screenings across the U.S. and Europe. Funny, surprising, and unlike anything else this season.
