2018-07-11 18:00 - 19:29 (America/New_York) | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds: The Conductor Zubin Mehta (Bettina Ehrhardt, Germany 2016, 89 min., English, German, Hebrew, Italian – w/ subtitles) as part of the Rochester Jewish Film Festival (RJFF).
Born in India, Zubin Mehta has conducted orchestras the world over, but is most identified with the Israel Philharmonic, where he serves as Music Director for Life and the nation's face of cultural excellence. Navigating among nations, his efforts to uncouple politics from the canon of Western classical music have not been without controversy. Filled with stirring performances and interviews with friends, family and colleagues, this globe-trotting biography is a magnificent tribute to an artistic virtuoso and true believer in the international language of music.

Known for pushing boundaries in terms of their stage production the tour saw the band perform "in the round" from the middle of the arena, with the stage design and configuration giving fans a full 360 degree audio/visual sensory experience. Central to the tour's visuals were the Drones, which flew autonomously above the stage and across the audience, alongside giant projections which interacted with the band members on stage. This spectacle, featuring Leds and lasers perfectly complimented the band's celebrated repertoire. Key songs performed on the tour included "Psycho", "Madness", "Uprising", "Plug in Baby", "Supermassive Black Hole" and Knights of Cydonia." Filmed and recorded over multiple shows the concert movie includes never before seen special effects along with an exclusive insight from the band in the introduction.

Wreckless Eric musical performance
2018-07-12 20:00 - 22:00 | Bop Shop Records, 1460 Monroe Ave., Rochester, New York, 14618, United States
He won't recreate 1978 for you, he'll blow your mind instead. New album Construction Time and Demolition out on April 6th …we all thought he'd just play a few songs from his new album, "America", a few classics from his Stiff Records years, and we'd go home after hearing "Whole Wide World". But this was not a night of an old rocker going through the motions. It was an evening of pure rock and roll; an evening of performance art with a garage-rock flavor.It was a combination of Neil Young's "Ragged Glory" era, Wilco's "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot", Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music", and any album in the Sonic Youth catalog. Songs began with layers and layers of different frequencies of noise and ended with these sounds blending into the next tune…

Itzhak screening
2018-07-12 20:30 - 21:53 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Itzhak (Alison Chernick, US 2017, 83 min.) as part of the Rochester Jewish Film Festival.
From Schubert to Strauss, Bach to Brahms, Mozart to Billy Joel, Itzhak Perlman's violin playing transcends mere performance to evoke the celebrations and struggles of real life. Alison Chernick's enchanting documentary looks beyond the sublime musician to see the polio survivor whose parents emigrated from Poland to Israel, and the young man who struggled to be taken seriously. Itzhak himself is funny, irreverent and self-deprecating, and here his life story unspools in conversations with masterful musicians, family and friends, and most endearingly his devoted wife of 50 years. As charming and entrancing as the famous violinist himself, Itzhak is a portrait of musical virtuosity seamlessly enclosed in warmth, humor and, above all, love.

2018-07-13 20:00 - 22:00 | Small World Books, 425 North St., Rochester, New York, 14605, United States
Fred Lonberg-Holm (cello + electronics) and Aaron Zarzutzki (homemade instruments + electronics) have long associations with the Chicago (and beyond) free-improv, rock and abstract music communities. Fred has studied and worked with Pauline Oliveros, Anthony Braxton, Ken Vandermark, Jim O'Rourke, The Boxhead Ensemble and Wilco as well as groups under his own direction like the Lightbox Orchestra. Aaron is a unique improvisor working with modular synthesizers, turntables, homemade electronics and acoustic instruments along with bizarre homemade amplifiers built out of drums, clipboards and other non-traditional objects. He's one of those rare improvisers like Adam Bohman, Ben Bennett and ID M Thefftable that can pull music out of any pile of garbage.

Ultimately, it leads to the highest echelons of power and to an influential businessman who plans to profit from his political ties to Germany's leadership. Standing between the businessman and his fortune however, is the fact that he's Jewish.
