In 2012, the ultra-creative guitar duo of Randall Avers and Benoit Albert, a.k.a. Les Frères Méduses, were commissioned to create an original score for the silent film “The Unknown.” Along with the brilliant violinist Jennifer Choi, they’ll be performing their astonishing soundtrack live as the film is screened.

Dark, bizarre, and vivid Tod Browning’s 1927 silent masterpiece “The Unknown” stars “the man of a thousand faces” Lon Chaney, Sr. and superstar Joan Crawford. The film opens in a circus in Spain and is filled with twists and turns of love, deception, and revenge.

Jennifer Choi has charted a career that breaks through the conventional boundaries of solo violin, chamber music, and improvisation. She has performed worldwide in venues such as the Carnegie Hall, the Library of Congress in Washington D. C., the RAI National Radio in Rome, Hong Kong National Radio, and the Mozartsalle in Vienna since giving her debut recital at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Hall in 2000. An award winning chamber musician, she has performed in a multitude of classical and creative improvisation collaborations and has premiered numerous works by composers such as John Zorn, Jacob TV, Elliott Sharp, and Susie Ibarra.
