The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Event information

At 7.30pm on Friday 25th March 2011, Gillingham Methodist Church is offering a unique cinema experience with a twist. We are showing one of the greatest silent films ever made, the classic 1923 film version of Hunchback of Notre Dame, starring Lon Chaney as Quasimodo, together with live, improvised organ accompaniment from international recitalist David Briggs.
Formerly organ scholar of King’s College, Cambridge & Organist of Gloucester Cathedral, David Briggs holds a reputation as one of the most fluent and expert improvisers in the world.

This is cinema as it used to be with a musician trying to capture the mood as the silent movie’s images flash across the silver screen. This will be a unique event as GMC transforms itself into the world of silent film and, accompanied by our Sweetland organ, will provide an exhilarating evening’s entertainment.

Tickets: £12 in advance, £15 on the door.
