Ghost Almanac: An Evening of Silent Cinema Classics with Live Music performed by Montopolis - One Night Only!

Tuesday, September 30, 2025

Doors: 7:00 pm • Screening: 7:20 pm

Ghost Almanac features the best scenes from classic horror films soundtracked live by the vintage synthesizer enthusiasts of Montopolis.

Think Tales from the Crypt meets VH1 in this 80-minute, roller coaster ride of terror and old school beats.

Montopolis is an indie chamber music group from Austin, Texas, that performs the works of composer Justin Sherburn. Their genre-busting

music uses inventive instrumentation to create "stunning and transcendent" (Austin Chronicle) concerts. Their programs are audience-engaging,

multi-media events that combine live music with film and interactive storytelling. The Montopolis musicians include members of the

Austin Symphony, Okkervil River, Tosca String Quartet, and the Polyphonic Spree.
