The Swan performs a specially composed score by Artistic Director David Le Page to accompany the iconic 1923 silent comedy Safety Last!
Lloyd’s portrayal of the new kid trying to make it in the big city is pitch perfect. His astonishing pratfalls will have you convulsed with laughter and the breath taking stunts will have you holding on to your seats as the tension rises! Directed by Fred Newmeyer and Sam Taylor, Safety Last! remains a firm favourite 100 years on.
Prior to the screening, we will be performing a short set inspired by the film. The screening with live score will then begin after a short interval.
Director David Le Page
Orchestra of the Swan, under the Artistic Direction of David Le Page, strives to captivate audiences through a blend of experimentation with both classical and non-classical music, embracing our role as storytellers. Our commitment to being distinctive drives us to push creative boundaries, offering performances that are both innovative and unique. We work with outstanding collaborators and international soloists, focussing on melding our unique orchestral sound with folk, jazz and world music, making ‘orchestral’ music more accessible to a wider audience whilst celebrating the art of storytelling with fabulous world-class narrators. We are fighting hard to mitigate the appalling state of music education in our regional state schools, have set up a Swan Youth Orchestra, delivered an extensive programme of over 300 annual workshops within the regional community, released 32 albums, been in the Top 40 Classical Charts for our last 5 cross-genre albums, were nominated for a Grammy award in 2022, and enjoy a 14 million global audio streaming audience.…
