The New School for Music Study's Fourth Annual
Silent Film Celebration (SFC)
Saturday, March 29, 2025
AMC Bridgewater 7
Thank you for joining us in this exciting music and film event!
​
Piano students of all ages and levels will prepare 30-90 seconds of music to accompany a scene from a silent film. Together, the performers will create a continuous, live soundtrack that enhances each film. Before movies had sound, it was common for pianists to provide live accompaniment in theaters.
These timeless classics starring Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton are sure to delight audiences of all ages. Each entertaining film is only 20-30 minutes in duration.
​
The SFC is a fun and unique performance opportunity for students, as well as a memorable event for audiences. Tickets may be purchased online or at the door. You won't want to miss this inspiring day of music and movies!
​
Our 2025 Silent Film Celebration will take place on Saturday, March 29th at the AMC Bridgewater 7.
Films will run throughout the day from 12:45pm-6:45pm.
