SUMMARY:West Newton presents Behind the Screen: Sinners

The film blends Southern Gothic\, blues music\, historical memory\, and supernatural horror\, creating a richly layered narrative about community\, survival\, and cultural expression. \nPOST SCREENING PANEL DISCUSSION\nOur panel will explore the film’s fusion of music\, history\, and horror\, considering how SINNERS engages with African-American cultural traditions\, the symbolic role of blues music in confronting evil\, and the artistic choices that make the film a singular cinematic experience. \nJAKE BLOUNT\, A.M.\nMusician\, Scholar\, and Music Consultant on SINNERS;\nSpecialist in Traditional African-American Music and Afrofuturism\nJake Blount is an award-winning musician and scholar whose work bridges performance\, research\, and advocacy.

SUMMARY:West Newton Cinema presents Mary Pickford's Sparrows: Live Music Accompaniment
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of Mary Pickford’s\, SPARROWS (1926) with live musical accompaniment. \nABOUT THE FILM:\nMolly\, the eldest child at a baby farm hidden deep in a swamp\, must rescue the others when their cruel master decides that one of them will be disposed of. \nLIVE MUSIC\nBRUCE VOGT\nBruce Vogt is a Canadian pianist who has devoted a distinguished career to performing and teaching. He has toured cities and towns of all sizes throughout North America\, Europe\, and Asia as a soloist and chamber musician. He has mentored generations of young artists in his role as professor of piano at the University of Victoria\, and has lectured widely\, leading master classes\, workshops\, and adjudicating for festivals. \nBruce has sustained an interest in exploring the many conversations to be found between music and film\, literature and painting. This has evolved into an unusual side hustle: improvising accompaniments for the great films of the silent era. He has developed a robust career in this multimedia sphere bringing sound to many masterpieces — by Chaplin\, Keaton\, Lloyd\, Griffith\, Sjöström\, Von Sternberg and many others. In movie theaters across Europe\, Asia\, and North America\, he has provided for audiences a greater intimacy with these films\, transforming the silence of the medium into another sphere.

SUMMARY:Newton Baroque presents Bringing it Home with Brescianello
DESCRIPTION:Newton Baroque presents music of the Stuttgart Court.\nGiuseppe Antonio Brescianello (ca. 1690 to 1758) grew up in Bologna and spent much of his career at the courts of Munich and Stuttgart. His Concerti a tre are richly imaginative trio sonatas that combine the intimacy of chamber music with the brilliance of concerto-style violin writing. Each work functions like a concerto for two violins\, unfolding without the support of a full orchestra. \nLike many Italian musicians who were recruited to German courts in the eighteenth century\, Brescianello is not widely known today. In his own time\, however\, he was highly respected\, particularly for his violin concertos. These works offer a vivid glimpse into the cosmopolitan musical life of the German courts and showcase a distinctive voice at the crossroads of Italian virtuosity and German refinement.\nMore information available at https://www.newtonbaroque.org/
