The closing concert will bring together two different art forms: music and cinema. The Krasnoyarsk Chamber Orchestra will perform in an unusual role, as the musicians are preparing to 'voice' Charlie Chaplin's silent films live. "The Kid" and "A Dog's Life", to be precise. The music for the films was written by the great personality and director himself.

In 2021 "The Kid" celebrates its 100th anniversary. It was filmed in 1921 and became an important stage in the work of the director – this is Chaplin's first feature film. In 1971, the director released an updated version of "The Kid" with a specially written musical accompaniment. The main leitmotif was a quote from Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony.

Today "The Kid" is included in the US National Film Registry as of great cultural, historical and aesthetic importance.

The Krasnoyarsk Chamber Orchestra has already dubbed Chaplin's films before. "The Kid '' and "A Dog Life '' together with the band went on tour in Portugal in 2019, at the International Music Festival in Póvoa de Varzim
