SUMMARY:Cocktails & Conversation | Pat Ivers & Emily Armstrong | Punk is Coming
DESCRIPTION:As part of our Cocktails & Conversation series supporting Punk is Coming\, join us for an evening with Pat Ivers and Emily Armstrong \nIf you think all punk sounds like the Sex Pistols\, have we got news for you. Pat Ivers and Emily Armstrong reach into their GoNightclubbing video Archive to share the dizzying variety of music that flourished under the “punk” banner from 1977-1980. From the dissonance and free jazz of the Lounge Lizards to the bouncy power pop of New Wavers like the GoGos\, this screening of rare live performances will be followed by a lively Q&A with the filmmakers. MTV was never like this! \nThe event is free and open to the public but advance registration is requested. \nThe presentation begins promptly at 6 PM so come early to experience the exhibition and purchase a drink or custom cocktail.

SUMMARY:FREE WORKSHOP with The Alturas Duo
DESCRIPTION:The Alturas Duo will lead a FREE interactive educational workshop for students ages 5-12 on March 25 at 5pm. Through the workshop\, students will learn to incorporate other art mediums to deepen their understanding and create work inspired by South American folk art. \nTheir workshop will include short musical examples from their repertoire\, and an introduction to the various instruments they play including the viola\, guitar\, charangos and Venezuelan cuatro. Fortunately\, when their good friend Gonzalo Cortes joins\, those instruments expand to include the quena (Andean flute) zampona (pan flutes) and classical flute! The workshop will explain how African\, European and Native cultures came together to create South American folk music as we know it today\, and how natural elements affect everything from the materials used to make instruments (armadillos\, bamboo\, and goat toenails to name a few!) to how musicians use their surroundings to influence their songwriting and rhythms. \nLearn more and register here.
