Description
Watch as the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra, conducted by Rick Benjamin, accompanies Charlie Chaplin's 1916 silent film comedy "The Pawn Shop" using original music cues and orchestrations. Here is an excerpt - the famous "Alarm Clock Scene" - from the full screening of the film at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa.
PRO is one of the world's foremost silent film accompanists, having performed for more than 600 screenings across 48 U.S. States and 7 countries abroad. The Orchestra performs from Rick Benjamin's 900-title collection of silent film scores from the 1890s through the late 1920s. PRO's programs are historic reenactments using authentic silent era underscoring techniques and period instruments.
This live PRO performance was taped by the students of Buena Vista University's Television Production Lab.
