Yvo Verschoor – Filmconcert The Goldrush

• 10 January 2026
  • 19:30 – 22:00

Tonight, in the Blüthner Hall, his self-built film concert hall, film concert pianist Yvo Verschoor accompanies this immortal, comic, and romantic Charlie Chaplin film from 1925.

Chaplin is a lone prospector who, like tens of thousands of other fortune seekers during the Klondike Gold Rush, travels to Alaska in search of wealth, but ends up in a series of absurd situations, bitter cold and impossible loves.

The Gold Rush is one of Charlie Chaplin’s most famous films, full of visual delights and iconic scenes like the dancing buns and the delicious fried shoe soles. This 100-year-old classic remains irresistibly funny and moving, and is rarely shown with live music these days.

After the invention of sound film, ‘synchronous sound’ in 1927, Chaplin made a new version of this film with music and voice-over by himself.

Tonight we see the original version with an improvised score, inspired by Chaplin’s music.
