This Sunday afternoon Nov. 2, we are proud to present the Charlie Chaplin silent movie masterpiece, The Gold Rushaccompanied by sonic artist extraordinaire Peter Krasinski on the grand 1893 Hutchings/Fisk pipe organ.

Peter Krasinski will provide a a live theater organ accompaniment to two classic film comedies for “A Night of Cinema Magic” to be presented by Milton Community Concerts on May 28. (Handout)

The Gold Rush (1925) is tragicomedy about the search for gold, in which the leading character faces hunger, cold, and even the possibility that he may be attacked by a grizzly.  It’s hilarious and sad at the same time, providing delightful entertainment for the whole family!

Peter Krasinski, an international star of improvised silent movie accompaniment, will employ all the tone colors and power of the Meetinghouse pipe organ to add mystery, intrigue and excitement to this classic Charlie Chaplin film.

Tickets are available at the door or in advance (recommended) on our website.

Admission: $20 General, $5 Students, Under 12 free

Parking is available on the Green in front of the Meetinghouse, home of the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church, at 50 Middle Street and at other locations around the Historic District. The side entrance at 10 Church Street provides elevator access.
