100th Anniversary celebration with a live score by Invincible CzarsSince 2006, the Austin-based band has been performing well-crafted and critically-acclaimed original silent film scores for THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI, Lon Chaney’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, John Barrymore’s DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE, Lillian Gish’s THE WIND, and so many others.
The live accompaniment experience marries the old-world charm of silent film with a contemporary electricity, engaging multi-generational audiences. “We strive to create soundtracks that give modern-day audiences a context to appreciate these 100-year-old movies,” said Josh Robins, Invincible Czars founder and bandleader. The group draws upon influences from more modern film composers including Bear McCreary, Angelo Badalmenti, David Buckley, Bernard Herrmann, and Danny Elfman
Fans, theaters, and media have consistently praised The Invincible Czars’ carefully crafted soundtracks for enhancing movie-goers’ experience. The band has performed for over a decade at hundreds of theaters and art houses across the US and Canada, delighting audiences with an array of sonic twists and turns. The varied compositions and instrumentation adapt individually to each film the Czars score, capturing each thrilling moment and keeping audiences engaged scene by scene.
Their score is performed by a five-member touring ensemble using violin, flute, bass clarinet, oboe, electric guitar, bass guitar, piano, organ, glockenspiel, music box, drums, percussion, samples, and loops. From delicate passages of longing and love to menacing motifs of dissonant horror and pain, each instrument plays a critical role in establishing character themes and creating an aural dreamscape for the film
