The Gold Rush with Aaron David Miller, Organist

The First Event in Hamline Church’s 2016-17 Arts and Music Series is the Charlie Chaplin Silent Movie: “Gold Rush” with Live Organ Accompaniment

On Sunday, October 9, Hamline Church United Methodist will host a showing of the Charlie Chaplin silent movie “Gold Rush” accompanied by organ music from acclaimed organist Aaron David Miller. Aaron is a master of theater organ style, a mix of jazz, big band, jitterbug and pop styles.  He improvises the whole show and is in absolute accord with every nuance Chaplin does on screen. His theater organ concerts in the Twin Cities and across the country are always well-attended and he gets rave reviews and frequent return invitations. Before the film, the church will serve a free pizza lunch with pizza from the community bread oven. The film will begin at 1pm. Enjoy fresh-baked pizza from Hamline Church’s outdoor wood-fired oven and settle in as Aaron puts the organ through its paces with Charlie Chaplin!
