"The New York Theatre Organ Society” returns to Pine Plains with the next installment of Silents at Stissing, a growing series dedicated to bringing classic silent cinema to life through the power of live theatre-organ accompaniment. This February, we are proud to present Charlie Chaplin’s groundbreaking feature The Kid, a film that continues to resonate with audiences more than a century after its release.
Blending comedy, pathos, and Chaplin’s unmistakable storytelling, The Kid remains one of the most influential works of the silent era. Its emotional richness is heightened even more when paired with live music, and for this performance, internationally acclaimed organist Peter Krasinski will accompany the film with a fully improvised score. Known for his exceptional artistry and instinct for dramatic timing, Krasinski transforms each screening into a one-of-a-kind experience, shaping the musical moment by moment as the story unfolds.
Presented in partnership with Stissing Center, this event continues our shared commitment to offering unique programming in the Hudson Valley. Silents at Stissing has steadily gained momentum, giving audiences a rare opportunity to experience silent films as originally intended on the big screen, with the expressive sound of a theatre organ.
Whether you are a longtime supporter of NYTOS or discovering our work for the first time, this program offers both an accessible introduction to silent film and a deeply meaningful artistic encounter. Families, film enthusiasts, music lovers, and anyone curious about the magic of early cinema will find something to enjoy."
