Immersions - film screening - 4/14/08

To celebrate it's 7th anniversary, Artists-at-Large presents a screening of "Immersions" by Dr. Emil Tobenfield.

"Immersions" is a genre-crossing intermedia improvisation
series built around the core of Doctor T (Video), Dean Stiglitz
(ElectroFlute and Electronics) and Ramona Herboldsheimer (Hammered
Dulcimer and Other Things) with guest musicians and sometimes dancers
or other visual artists. The performance is a dialog between music
and imagery, with the performers in each medium reacting to the other.

Celebrate National Poetry Month with The Music Workshop April 7th

From the Academy of American Poets:
"Inaugurated by the Academy in April 1996, National Poetry Month (NPM) brings together publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, libraries, schools, and poets around the country to celebrate poetry and its vital place in American culture. Thousands of businesses and non-profit organizations participate through readings, festivals, book displays, workshops, and other events."

Artists-at-Large founder Thomas C. Seegers, Jr., aka Tommey will be reading and all are invited to participate.

New Language Collaborative - 3/10

New Language Collaborative
Eric Zinman - piano, euphonium
Glynis Lomon - cello
Syd Smart - percussion

These musicians are some of the first that I (Forbes) had the pleasure of playing with when I moved to the Boston area and they are also some of the finest that you'll find here. They've been working together for decades and it shows in their sound. Syd, Glynis, and Eric have a wonderful musical lineage going back to the Black Music program of Bennington College run by Bill Dixon. Syd was one of the founders of the Friends of Great Black Music loft in Chinatown. They've worked with a lot of great musicians over the years. This is a must see event. I will be joining them on the second set as well.
