Philippe Quint’s critically acclaimed multimedia show "Charlie Chaplin's Smile: A Musical Tribute to Charlie Chaplin", inspired by his wildly successful album debut on the Warner Classics label Chaplin’s Smile, will be presented by the La Jolla Music Society. The online concert, performed with Jun Cho, features Quint’s arrangements of works and video clips from Chaplin’s most celebrated films – Modern Times, City Lights, Monsieur Verdoux, The Kid, Limelight, and A King in New York – interspersed with works by composers that had a great impact on Chaplin’s compositional style: Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Brahms, Gershwin, and Stravinsky. During the performance, Quint will also narrate the stories that he has written and based on Chaplin’s My Autobiography.
