The Kid with Live Score

The Jack Curtis Dubowsky Ensemble (JCDE) brings their original live score to the 1921 silent classic, Charlie Chaplin's The Kid, at the historic Art Theatre.

In Chaplin’s first feature film, the “Little Tramp” rescues an orphan boy from the streets and raises him as his own. An instant success in 1921, The Kid remains a masterwork of cinema. In 2011, The Kid was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”

JCDE sparks new life with original scores to classic silent films including Nosferatu, The Golem, The Phantom Carriage, Sunrise, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and The Mark of Zorro, for which they released a soundtrack album ZORRO in 2017. A team of top players led by composer and conductor Jack Curtis Dubowsky, JCDE combines intricately composed material and structured improvisation.
