We are very happy to welcome Günter Buchwald @BABYLON_Berlin, conducting Metropolis tonight and on 5 March. He is one of the leading silent movie conductors in Germany, supporting the renaissance of silent film since 1978.

Such fun to be working on the fiendishly difficult The Gold Rush again. Undoubtedly one of @ChaplinOfficial’s most beautiful films, and one of his greatest scores. Catch it on Sat & Mon at @BABYLON_Berlin with @babylon_orch.

Merry Christmas and Fröhliche Weihnachten to all of you!

I had the best time conducting @ChaplinOfficial The Kid last night at @BABYLON_Berlin with my brilliant @babylon_orch friends. (And I only nearly cried twice in the film!)

[Ben Palmer 🇪🇺 @conductorben]

⚙️🔧 Getting properly stuck into learning the fiendish @ChaplinOfficial Modern Times for performances with @babylon_orch at @BABYLON_Berlin next month. The score is so huge I’ve had to crank my desk up to standing height so I can write in it!

[Ben Palmer 🇪🇺 @conductorben]

🏙🤖 My tenth Metropolis with the @babylon_orch at @BABYLON_Berlin last night. I never tire of this film, this score, or these wonderful musicians.

[Estefania Vidal @tefavidal]

First time at @babylon_orch tonight. So excited
