Two Star Symphony presents original score to the 1924 romantic comedy "Girl Shy"

Two Star Symphony is Houston’s “most unusual music ensemble”. Established in 2002 the group has been composing and performing all-original music in various configurations, Two Star brings modern instrumental music to a wide range of audiences, from classical music enthusiasts to first time listeners. For this special event, the ensemble will present its original live score to Harold Lloyd’s 1924 romantic comedy, “Girl Shy”. Two Star Symphony is celebrated for transforming silent film screenings into immersive, unforgettable experiences. Their intuitive performance style allows them to respond in real time to the screen, heightening every comedic turn, romantic moment, and chase scene.

The band works differently than most classical ensembles in that every member is also a composer. Songs are written and arranged collaboratively as a group, with each player responsible for their own parts. By the time the songs are finished, the music is memorized. Two Star does not create sheet music, so the player is free to focus on listening rather than reading. This allows them to play in the dark, which is advantageous for theater, dance and a unique way of scoring silent films permitting them to react to the screen rather than having their eyes on their music.

Two Star Symphony has a history of collaboration with other artists and mediums. Two Star has created original works with: American Ballet Theatre Studio Company, Dominic Walsh Dance Theatre, Whim W’him Dance Company, Bobbindoctrin Puppet Theater, The Museum of Fine Arts and The University of Houston School of Theatre and Dance. The group has released six studio albums and three original film scores.
