Pianist Jacquelyne Silver has parlayed her keyboard talent into a broader audience interest – that of the cinema and the story of the men and women who profoundly influence it. Her new touring series, “Hollywood,” is coming to the Athenaeum, 1008 Wall St., and will feature footage of the films you love, from the silents to the talkies, along with Silver’s accompaniment and lecture on music’s indispensable place in film. The history of the Oscars, the roar of the MGM lion, the mythical celebrities: It’s all there in a show designed to answer the questions about Hollywood you didn’t know you had. The event runs May 27 and June 3 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $14 for members and $19 for nonmembers.
