MUSIC AND MIRTH AT THE MOVIES! Harold Lloyd’s “The Kid Brother"

Lyric at the Birch, in concert with the Harold Lloyd Trust, proudly announce the return of internationally renowned film accompanist Dr. Philip Carli, performing live music for the four-star, all-time classic movie masterpiece, "The Kid Brother."

Last year, the event proved so popular that lines of fans wrapped around the building for tickets!

Return to the golden age of silent film with Harold Lloyd’s classic 1927 comedy “The Kid Brother,” presented with

two entertaining short subjects and a classic cartoon!

Live music will be performed by internationally renowned film accompanist Dr. Philip Carli.

Tickets are $12 general admission, $10 students/seniors, $8 children.

This beautifully restored film portrays Harold Lloyd as a shy and mild-mannered hero, too bashful to speak to a pretty girl, and too slight and timid to take on the brawny bullies that dog his life. It is a delightful showcase of Harold Lloyd’s amazing balance of humor, sentiment, and action, as well as his famous athletic agility. Once seen, the climax of this film masterpiece will never be forgotten. The evening will also include two entertaining short subjects and a classic cartoon.


Dr. Philip Carli has toured extensively as a film accompanist throughout North America and Europe, performing at such venues as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery in Washington, DC, the Cinematheque Quebécoise in Montreal, the National Film Theatre in London, and the Berlin International Film Festival. He performs annually at several film festivals in the United States as well as at Le Giornate del Cinema Muto in Italy.
