For over 18 years, Bop Shop Records has had a happy and productive relationship with AACM master percussionist Kahil El'Zabar. Going back to 2000 when he first brought his main band, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, to the atrium at Village Gate, he has graced us with several versions of his various ensembles. Earlier in 2016, we presented an edition of the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble featuring trombonist Craig Harris and baritone saxophonist Hamiet Blueitt. Back in 2001, we presented the duo of El'Zabar and violinist Billy Bang. But perhaps our most well-attended concert was a duet set with saxophonist David Murray in 2000. And we are proud that it resulted in the album We Is: Live At The Bop Shop, released on Delmark Records to great acclaim.

This Sundance Film Festival Audience Favorite, shot partially here in Rochester at St. John's Home, is a moving documentary chronicling the remarkable story of how social worker, Dan Cohen, was able to awaken memories -with carefully personalized playlists on re-purposed Ipods – for thousands of Alzheimer's patients and others suffering from memory loss, dementia, severe anxiety or other ailments. What started as a pilot program at four New York long-term care facilities is now in 10 different countries at 4,500 sites. Twenty-one states have made Cohen's Music and Memory program part of their public policies, and musical artists such as Elvis Costello, Carole King and Kenny Chesney have come on board to champion this breakthrough.

Ment Consort musical performance: Pegasus Rising program
2018-06-06 19:00 - 21:00 | Bernunzio Uptown Music, 122 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14604, United States
In our first Pegasus Rising program of 2018, the Ment Consort explores the phenomenon of animal sounds in music from the Baroque. In this fun program, you will hear Schmelzer's "Cu Cu" Sonata and Biber's "Cat, Quail, and the Frog", along with other Baroque animals! The imitation of animal sounds in music has existed for as long as music itself. These imitations were possibly a search for spiritual connection with other beings, an expression of a desire to communicate with animals, a wish to shed human responsibilities and limitations, or simply a playful way for composers to reflect their observations of nature. The Ment Consort is an early music quartet formed in Chicago in 2015 with the intention of exploring the experimental and revolutionary music of the 17th and 18th centuries. Through historical performances on period instruments, Ment considers how baroque composers stretched the boundaries of the instruments, techniques, and musical genres of their time.

A romance ensues, but only in the afternoon. Three years after the success of Sabrina, Billy Wilder meets again with Hepburn, by then at the top of her stardom. He co-signs this delightful romantic comedy with screenwriter I. A. L. Diamonds, their first and already fruitful collaboration, before writing future masterpieces together such as Some Like it Hot (1959), The Apartment (1960), and Irma la Douce (1963).

The Dryden will screen Counsellor-at-Law (William Wyler, U.S. 1933, 82 min., 35mm) as part of the William Wyler series.
In this fast-talking pre-Code melodrama, Wyler follows a day in the life of George Simon (John Barrymore), a successful lawyer who is trying to balance his career by helping the people from his neighborhood while taking high-paying sensationalist cases to pay the bills. After he successfully defends an accused murderer, he takes the case of a young communist who has been beaten by the police, as a favor to a childhood neighbor, but his career may be at risk as a previous case is called into question. Written by prolific playwright Elmer Rice from his own play, the film challenged Wyler's camera movements to keep up with the action.

A simple plethora of songs is what led Spin Doctors' frontman Chris Barron to go solo again with his latest release Angels and One-Armed Jugglers. "I'm a very prolific songwriter," Barron, who's released two previous solo albums, tells Billboard, "and I have this gigantic backlog of eclectic songs that would never necessarily work for the Spin Doctors. I wanted to make a solo record for a really long time, just as a creative outlet. So here it is." […]

2018-06-08 19:30 - 21:02 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Geu-hu (The Day After, Hong Sang-soo, South Korea 2017, 92 min., DCP, Korean w/subtitles).
The last of the three films Hong Sang-soo directed in 2017 and his 21st feature as a director in less than 20 years, The Day After is a mordantly comic tale of infidelity and mistaken identity. Book publisher Bongwan's (Kwon Haehyo) marriage is on the rocks after his wife (Cho Yunhee) discovers the affair he's been having with his assistant (Kim Saebyuk). Now that relationship is ending, too, and Bongwan's new assistant, the sharp and sensitive Areum (Kim Minhee), on her first day in the office, is left to navigate the fallout of all of the turnover in Bongwan's life. With its ingeniously destabilizing leaps through time and stark black-and-white cinematography, The Day After begins as a darkly hilarious story of a man embroiled in extramarital entanglements but soon shifts—in a way only Hong can manage—into a heartfelt portrayal of a young woman on a quest for spiritual fulfillment.
