LAEMMLE LIVE presents: Elemental Choir Dec 3

This is a Free Event
RSVP on Eventbrite

Join us December 3 at the Monica Film Center as we usher in the winter holidays with the joyful sounds of ELEMENTAL CHOIR.

The choir is a program of Elemental Music, created to inspire, train, and nurture young musicians in Santa Monica. The program began in 2004 by an SMMUSD music teacher who wanted to create an opportunity for elementary students to play in an orchestra throughout the school year, make new friends, and get excited about music. Since then, more than 1,000 students have participated in Elemental Music. Initially serving only 25 elementary school students, programs now serve nearly 300 elementary and middle school students in seven different programs this season.

Elemental Choir is one of Elemental Music’s newest and fastest growing programs. The Choir is comprised of third, fourth and fifth grade auditioned singers from over ten different Westside elementary schools. Teachers in the community recognize that engaging staff and inspiring repertoire choices help foster a strong sense of identity in young musicians. Our students work with expert teaching artists to polish their technical skills and dig into the joys of music-making, all in a social setting. We offer many opportunities for student performances throughout the year at three different Elemental concerts plus various public events in the Santa Monica community. Elemental Music’s young musicians blossom in their own ways, both socially and musically. This vibrant program inspires a love of music in the hearts of some of the westside’s youngest artists.

Gilbert Gottfried in Person for Q&A’s at the Fine Arts and Monicas.

by

Q&A’s with Gilbert Gottfried on Friday 11/10 after the 7:00PM GILBERT screening at the Monica Film Center, after the 8:00PM show at the Ahrya Fine Arts, and on Saturday 11/11 after the 7:00PM show at the Monica Film Center.

About the Film:
Legendary comedian Gilbert Gottfried has had quite the career. Rocketing to fame in the 1980’s, he was thrust into public consciousness thanks to his brash personality and off-kilter comic timing. Now, foul-mouthed and unapologetic after decades of flying solo in both his work and in his personal life, Gilbert has shockingly reinvented himself…as a family man.

Director Neil Berkeley’s “Gilbert” reveals an unexpected side to the iconic comedian. The film peeks behind the larger-than-life persona at a more personal story about growing up in Brooklyn and becoming a husband and father late in life. Gottfried’s ability to bring humor to even the darkest situations has, at times, gotten him into trouble. Still he soldiers on, an expert craftsman at bringing his audience to the edge (and sometimes pushing them over). Gilbert strips the comedic character away to reveal the man behind it. Berkeley allows the audience an intimate — even vulnerable — view of Gottfried out of character.
