Join us for an unforgettable Ciné-concert experience featuring Harold Lloyd's iconic silent film, "Safety Last," at the Salle Philharmonique in Liège. This event, scheduled for Sunday, June 1st, 2025, at 4:00 PM, promises to bring the magic of classic cinema to life with a unique twist. The film is renowned for its thrilling sequence where Lloyd is famously seen hanging from a giant clock, a moment that has become a staple in cinematic history. The film's blend of physical comedy, suspense, and fresh gags has solidified its status as Lloyd's masterpiece.

Adding to the excitement, the talented organist Paolo Oreni, hailing from the Milanese region and trained by Jean Guillou in Paris, will showcase his exceptional improvisation skills. Oreni's performance will accompany the film, providing a live soundtrack that enhances the viewing experience with the majestic sound of the organ. This event is part of the Fête de l’Orgue and is organized in collaboration with Liège Les Orgues.

The program for the evening includes an improvisation to the organ by Paolo Oreni, set to the backdrop of F.C. Newmeyer and S. Taylor's "Safety Last (Monte là-dessus)," a silent film from 1923. This ciné-concert is a perfect blend of music and film, offering a unique way to experience the artistry of silent cinema classics alongside live musical performance.

Tickets are priced at €18, and reservations can be made to secure your spot at this one-of-a-kind event. Don't miss the opportunity to step back in time and enjoy a masterpiece of silent film with the added dimension of live organ improvisation by the gifted Paolo Oreni.
