Fans of classic horror can experience century-old cinema with a live, custom score next Thursday at Moscow’s Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre, 508 S. Main St.

Austin, Texas-based ensemble The Invincible Czars will perform its original soundtrack to the 1925 silent film “Phantom of the Opera” at 7 p.m. at the historic theater.

The Invincible Czars, which began performing in 2006, brings its national tour to Moscow with a “Phantom” score updated for the film’s 100th anniversary. The composition includes violin, organ, flute, bass clarinet, drums, percussion, vocals, electric guitar, piano and sound effects performed by the group’s five members.

The Czars’ show complements the Kenworthy’s ongoing silent film programing, Executive Director Colin Mannex said in an email, noting he’s wanted to see the group perform at the venue since he started there three years ago. The theater’s annual silent film festival set for later this year pairs classic films with live music composed and performed by regional artists.

Tickets for next Thursday’s show are $15-$20 at kenworthy.org/events-calendar/phantom.
