PROGRAMA

Temps moderns (United States, 1936, 89 minutes). Directed, produced and scripted by Charles Chaplin | Music by Charles Chaplin and Leo Daniderff (collaborations with Edward Powell, David Raksin and Alfred Newman) | Musical arrangement for Timothy Brock Symphony Orchestra

Music has been present in the cinema since the early times when the films were accompanied by a live performance, usually a piano. I he hero of the film, a steelworker who loses his sanity as a result of the hectic speed at which he has to work, is accompanied today by an orchestra of renown, which begins the concert with the first performance of a work by Agustí Charles.
