New Music and Old Movies

Relâche, a Philadelphia based new-music octet, will be performing in three concerts during a yearlong stint as ensemble in residence at the museum. The first concerts features some favorite pieces from Relâche's repertoire, as well as commissioned pieces to accompany two short comedic films starring Max Linder, one of Charlie Chaplin's idols. (They'll also accompany a third short, a comedy starring Edward Everett Horton.)

Tickets are $15 ($10 for Museum members), in advance or at the door, while supplies last. A ticket may be used to enter and explore the Museum’s international galleries after 2:00 pm on the day of the concert. For more information (and to order tickets), click here.
