What would movies be without music? Even silent films usually had live accompaniment. Austin Classical Guitar and Austin Chamber Music Center bring some of that movie music – and magic – to the stage this weekend. Violinist Sandy Yamamoto and the Moontower Duo (Matthew Lyons and Stephen Krishnan on guitar) start off with the iconic theme from The Godfather and take the audience to Middle-earth with The Lord of the Rings and to the mystical worlds of Miyazaki. Lyons also presents a world premiere of his composition inspired by silent film The Phantom of the Opera. All that and more at two choices of venue, both with receptions following so guests can hobnob with the artists. – Kat McNevins
