Silent film with organ accompaniment

The magic of silent film returns – accompanied by live music that lends the images their emotional depth. In the past, the cinema organ took on the role of an orchestra; today, the church organ fulfills this role with impressive sonic diversity.



Concert organist David Schirmer is passionate about improvised silent film accompaniment and regularly brings classics to life live.


TIMOTHY'S QUEST (1922 | Sidney Olcott | Drama 82 min.)


The orphan boy Timothy and the toddler 'Lady' Gay under his care seek to escape the misery and violence of the slum. One night, they set off with their dog Rags to find a more loving home in the wider world.

"Timothy's Quest," based on the novel of the same name by Kate Douglas Wiggin, tells a story in touching images that is as universal as it is unique.
