TEMPO brings an all-new original score that will be played live by the youth orchestra in synch with the film. The orchestra is conducted by Rebecca Edmondson – composer of this new score – and Ethan Edmondson, with thirty middle school and HS musicians from central and downeast Maine. TEMPO makes its home at The Grand and offers performances throughout the year.
The film stars Harold Lloyd as a small-town bumpkin trying to make it in the big city, and who finds
employment as a lowly department store clerk. He comes up with a wild publicity stunt to draw attention to the store, resulting in an incredible feat of derring-do on his part that gets him started on the climb to success. Laugh-out-loud funny and jaw-dropping in equal measure, Safety Last! is an incredible movie experience, featuring the iconic sequence in which Harold hangs off of a clock face on the side of a skyscraper.
So bring a friend, share the experience, and come to The Grand on Saturday, January 10th at 7 pm for a one-time-only event: TEMPO – The Eastern Maine Pops Orchestra for Young Musicians – performing an original score as an accompaniment to Harold Lloyd’s classic comedic silent film Safety Last!
