The Unknown We team up again with the creative geniuses at the Alamo Drafthouse Rolling Roadshow and AMOA-Arthouse to present the 1929 silent masterpiece “The Unknown” starring Lon Chaney Sr. and Joan Crawford. It’s dark, bizarre, and brilliant. We’ve commissioned European-based ultra-inventive duo Les Freres Meduses to compose an original film score for two guitars and violin. They’ll perform it live with virtuoso violinist Sandy Yamamoto (formerly of Miró Quartet fame!). Lon Chaney Sr. plays a circus knife thrower in a circus in Northern Spain (he throws knives with his feet – and plays guitar too…)! We’ll show the movie near the water on the gorgeous grounds of Laguna Gloria with food conceived by the Alamo’s Executive Chef John Bullington, wine selected by beverage guru Bill Norris, and live pre-show circus performers! Alamo co-founder and CEO Tim League, Senior Programmer Lars Nilsen, and ACGS’ Matt Hinsley will talk movies and music before the show begins. Presentation Partners:   “The Unknown” is generously sponsored by: Florence and Charlie Mayne & Michael and Carol Fields Special Thanks:  |

Les Frères Méduses at the Commodore Perry Estate (1928) In 1928, Edgar and Lutie Perry moved into their elegant new home and immediately set a higher standard of gracious entertaining in Austin. Enclosed within a walled compound of nearly ten acres, the Estate enjoys a degree of privacy, seclusion, and grandeur seldom found in such a central location. The night after they perform for our grand Summer Series event, The Unknown, presented with the Alamo Drafthouse Rolling Roadshow and AMOA-Arthouse at Laguna Gloria, European-based ultra-inventive duo Les Frères Méduses will treat us to an intimate recital Austin Guitar Salon style at the fabulous Commodore Perry Estate. Docents from the Heritage Society of Austin will give special guided tours of the estate during our Antonelli’s Cheese Shop and Twin Liquors reception before the concert in the chapel. Valet Parking Provided. Tickets $55 ($45 ACGS/HSA members). The Austin Guitar Salon Event is generously sponsored by: Camille Cook & Laura "Siri" Hutcheson and The Commodore Perry Estate  |
