The Nutcracker Suite like you've never heard it before!

Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite w/ Invincible Czars LIVE
Thurs, Dec 9 at Lake Creek
Advance tickets available here

Take one part Stravinsky, one part Van Halen, and one part Captain Beefheart – mix them together and listen while huffing on a rag soaked in ether, and you may be getting close to pinning down the signature sound of Austin's Invincible Czars. Riff rock, classical music, loungey grooves, spacey klezmer, country shuffles, and circusy polka; the Czars blend genres seamlessly and send them all hurtling back in a frenetic, yet sophisticated arrangement.

Never one to rest on their laurels, the Czars have continually pushed themselves into new creative ventures including the scoring of silent films (THE UNKNOWN, AELITA: QUEEN OF MARS, DESTINY) and the re-working of famous classical suites including Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker Suite” and Mussorgsky’s “A Night on Bald Mountain.”

Since 2004, the band has made it a holiday tradition of performing their original take on the Nutcracker Suite. As an early Christmas present to you and yours, we’ve teamed up to bring them to the Drafthouse! On Thursday, December 9th, for one night only, the Czars will perform their Nutcracker show in its entirety at the Alamo Lake Creek. This is classical music like you’ve never heard before and certainly a great way to get into the holiday spirit!
