On March 29, 150 piano students from throughout central New Jersey will recreate the silent film experience at the Bridgewater AMC in Bridgewater. The event is sponsored by the New School for Music Study in Kingston.

One of the important features of the silent-film era was the organ and piano music that brought movies to life. At the upcoming event, students of all ages and levels will provide the soundtrack to classic films starring Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin.

“It is truly amazing to see how the music makes these historic films come alive. They are engaging and appealing to audience members of all ages and it is a great way to showcase piano students in live performance,” said the New School’s Administrative Director Rebecca Pennington.

The event is suitable for all ages. Audience members can choose to see on film or the full day of movies. Visit ticketleap.events/tickets/nsms-8/sfc2025.
