LAEMMLE LIVE presents: A Cello Meetup with Antonio Lysy October 1

by

Laemmle Live proudly presents BACH TO THE FUTURE – A CELLO MEETUP,  Sunday October 1 at the Monica Film Center.  Internationally acclaimed cellist and dedicated pedagogue Antonio Lysy invites intermediate and advanced cellists to participate in a unique cello ensemble opportunity. Antonio will lead a cello ensemble in exploring music that spans the ages, from Palestrina, Bach and Dvorak to Bartok, Elvis and more.

Cello students,  please RSVP to laemmlecellomeetup@gmail.com by September 21 if you would like to perform and include the following information: name, years of study, and music part you wish to play. Families, friends and cello fans, please RSVP to the same address. Please check in with your teacher if you need direction. Music can be found here.

Antonio Lysy, artist of international stature and dedicated pedagogue, has performed as a soloist in major concert halls worldwide. He has collaborated with distinguished conductors including Yuri Temirkanov, Charles Dutoit, Sir Yehudi Menuhin, Sandor Vegh, and Kees Bakels, and continues to perform regularly both as a solo, and chamber music artist. Lysy has recorded extensively for CBC Radio, BBC Radio, Classic FM, and other radio networks. Lysy enjoys exploring the versatility of the cello’s voice, from Baroque to electric, and is committed to projects which enrich his diverse interests in music. Based on his Latin Grammy award-winning CD, the touring multimedia show, “Te Amo, Argentina”, has met with widespread acclaim. In the summer of 2003, Lysy accepted the position of Professor of Cello at University of California, Los Angeles. Prior to moving to the United States, he held a professorship at McGill University in Montréal.

Ever since I was 12 years old and in the early days of my musical studies at the Yehudi Menuhin School in England, I have been fascinated with the process and notion of teaching. The idea of passing on a legacy through performance practice, and being part of an aural tradition entrusted to me by masters of the instrument is somewhat magical. It is the creation and preservation of history. I am fortunate to have had great opportunities in my life. While the idea of “giving back” has become cliché, I cannot think of a better term to explain my motivation to help those who have the talent, personality, work ethic, and determination to succeed. I am indebted to all my past teachers who took the trouble to share their experience, knowledge, philosophy, and passion with me, and inspired me by their dedication to musical ideals. Their example and belief in me as a young cellist stimulated the development of my own teaching philosophy. Many teachers were pivotal in my artistic development. Those I was fortunate to spend the most time with are the following: Guido Mascellini and Myra Chahin (in my early years), Alberto Lysy (my father), Maurice Gendron, William Pleeth, Radu Aldulescu, Yehudi Menuhin, and Ralph Kirshbaum.

ART IN THE ARTHOUSE presents: The Claremont Art Show 2017, September 17

by

RSVP here
This is a free event!

Laemmle’s Art in the Arthouse proudly presents THE CLAREMONT ART SHOW 2017! Please join us to celebrate our local artists in an intimate theatre setting. Our inaugural Claremont community show features a slide show on the big screen, artist talks, bagels, pastries, coffee and the conversation Art in the Arthouse is known for.

About the Exhibit:

COMMUNAL CROSSROADS

It is a time when forms are re-shaping, sometimes appearing shapeless altogether, when people search, then gather to form community. These samplings of the Claremont art community, reflect our disparate experiences, focus on what interests us, move us and take us to another world. Art in the Arthouse is proud to share this group of artists, as they deliver beauty, expose light and reveal anti-poetic moments.  The sun dappling the Sycamores, the Huntington Library in a moment of repose, a flood of colorful Hydrangeas, and the solidity of a parked Winnebago are a few images that emerge. Isolation and the Science of Geometry have wiggled their way in here, as well. One solitary figure, green, ghostlike, and another with eyes, full of pathos on a Sunday morning. A joyful dialogue of passionate interchanges and quality of expressions help return us to community.

 – Joshua Elias, Curator

Artist Reception:
Laemmle’s Claremont 5
Sunday, September 17 11-3pm

Ed Harris & Special Guests for Our Throwback Thursday KNIGHTRIDERS Screening this Week!

by

KNIGHTRIDERS star Ed Harris will attend our post screening Q&A after the August 31 screening at the NoHo! Stunt coordinator Gary Davis and actress-stuntwoman Jennifer Elizabeth will also attend.

George A. Romero’s KNIGHTRIDERS may well be the only cycle flick ever to be played out in suits of armor. A hardcase motorcycle gang led by Ed Harris has found itself a neat money-making gimmick. Dressed as the knights of the round table, the cyclists pick up a few bucks at local “renaissance” fairs, selling handicrafts made by the more talented members of the gang. Harris’ great rival is Tom Savini, who has his own band of “black knights.” Keep an eye out for a chucklesome unbilled bit by novelist Stephen King.

Coffee, Cantatas, and Conversation! Please join us Sunday, September 10 when LAEMMLE LIVE welcomes Los Angeles Baroque for a FREE chamber music concert. The baroque ensemble’s Westside debut will feature Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto 6 and a mini comic opera, A Coffee Cantata, in a new (and very funny) translation by Hugh Macdonald.

Directed by Lindsey Strand-Polyak and Alexa Haynes-Pilon, Los Angeles Baroque (LAB) was founded in 2016.  LAB enables dedicated professional, student and community musicians from greater Los Angeles to explore repertoire, learn Baroque playing style and perform. The group encourages and supports the early music community in Los Angeles in an inclusive environment to give highly motivated players more performance opportunities. This diverse group rehearses and performs regularly at St James’ Episcopal Church in South Pasadena.

Praised for her “Rococo gracefulness,”  Lindsey Strand-Polyak is active throughout the West Coast as a baroque violinist and violist. She performs with the American Bach Soloists, Musica Angelica, Seattle Baroque Orchestra, Pacific MusicWorks and Bach Collegium San Diego. Dr. Strand-Polyak is co-artistic director of baroque chamber group Ensemble Bizarria and of Los Angeles Baroque.  Canadian Alexa Haynes-Pilon has  established herself in the Los Angeles early music scene. She has performed with Los Angeles Baroque Players, Con Gioia and Musica Angelica, and as co-founded two early music chamber groups, Concitato 415 and Ensemble Bizarria. Alexa recently finished her doctoral studies at the University of Southern California. She believes strongly that the future of classical music lies in youth education. Photo credit: Helen Berger
