Twenty-five years ago, the Alloy Orchestra had its first concert. Now, it’s a yearlong touring ensemble.

Seeing the orchestra, though, is not just a musical event. They play their original scores alongside silent films.

The group is only a trio but manages to create a wide range of music. Each show features a synthesizer with thousands of sounds but also their “rack of junk.”
