Jane Gardner is a silent movie pianist, composer and teacher based in Edinburgh. Her solo piano performances to silent film include Buster Keaton's 'The Navigator' and 'Steamboat Bill Junior', Harold Lloyd's 'Safety Last!' and Lon Chaney's 'He Who gets Slapped'. Her concert hall works have been widely performed by ensembles such as the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Edinburgh Contemporary Arts Trust and Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
As part of the International Comedy Film Festival, we are very excited to welcome the team from highly respected Bird's Eye View with a selection of celluloid gems from the golden age of the silver screen. Their Clowning Glories programme was first shown at the British Film Institute in London earlier this year and we are thrilled to have such a prestigious event visiting the Bay.
Each of the silent films screened at the Palace Theatre in Paignton will be accompanied by some of the UK's leading women composers, performing live music specifically commissioned for the festival and introduced by surprise star comedians. The programme is a rare chance to see these classic comedies on the silver screen with beautiful live orchestration.
