Silent film that is not so silent

The Vivo Chamber Players, the Simpson faculty instrumental ensemble, is accompanying the silent film, The Rink, starring Charlie Chaplin, in recitals on Saturday, Feb. 5th, at 7:00 pm and 8:30 pm.   The twenty-five-minute score for the film was composed/arranged by Dr. John Benoit, Professor of Music.  The music depicts the action on the screen in a way that words can't. 
John assigned twenty-six different instruments to the percussionist, including a police siren, a car horn, etc.  If someone doesn't find the film entertaining, he/she can always watch the percussionist sprint from one end of the percussion section to the other!
 
The performance will take place in Lekberg Hall in the Amy Robertson Music Center on the Simpson College campus.  Because audience capacity is capped, audience members need to reserve tickets via Ticket Leap.  There is no cost for the tickets.
