LAEMMLE LIVE presents: Los Angeles Baroque on September 10

August 14, 2017 by Lamb L.

RSVP USING EVENTBRITE
This is a Free Event!

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

ART IN THE ARTHOUSE presents: SHULA SINGER ARBEL at the Monica Film Center September 6

August 14, 2017 by Lamb L.

Art in the Arthouse proudly presents LOVE, HOPE, MEMORY, featuring the works of SHULA SINGER ARBEL at the Monica Film Center. Please join us for our slide show on the big screen, artist talk, and of course, the wine, cheese and conversation Art in the Arthouse is known for. Drawing inspiration from her incredible family history,  ARBEL created paintings based on photographs found in an old photo album. Curated by Tish Laemmle, the exhibit runs through early January 2018 at the Monica Film Center in Santa Monica.  shulasingerarbel.com

Artist Reception:
Monica Film Center
Wednesday, September 6, 7-9pm
Refreshments will be provided
RSVP HERE

About the Exhibit:

LOVE, HOPE, MEMORY is the story of Shula Singer Arbel’s parents, Edith and Michael Singer. They met in 1946 in a Displaced Persons Camp in Heidenheim Germany, right after World War II. ARBEL’S mother was a survivor of Auschwitz, her father had been in the Russian and Polish Army. In spite of the tremendous loss and unimaginable suffering, this was a time of great hope and optimism for the future. It was a time of building new lives and looking forward. Based on black and white photographs found in an old photo album, the portraits are a fusion of representational, abstract, and dream-like images; a flattening of form mixed with painterly surfaces. The figures in the paintings are intentionally faceless to create a more universal narrative.

ARBEL was born in Israel and moved to Los Angeles at the age of three. She received an MFA degree from UCLA in Film Production, worked in the film industry and was the first recipient of the Barbra Streisand screenwriting award.

Now a full-time artist, she exhibits her work extensively in galleries throughout Los Angeles and in public venues including, Pershing Square Park, the Wilshire Vermont Metro Station, and a billboard in Culver City.

What drew me to ARBEL’s artwork were not only her magnificent bright colors and patterns, but also her ability to evoke the past. Mesmerized by the figures in her “memory” series, I imagine myself as one of those women, knowing my childhood is gone forever, but my future can be as brilliant as my imagination will allow.

– Tish Laemmle, CURATOR

#LoveHotel
A tale of two broken souls. A call-girl named Yumi, “night-blooming flower,” and Tetsuro, a married man with a debt to the yakuza, have a violent rendezvous in a cheap love hotel. Years later, haunted by the memory of that night, they reconnect and begin a strange love affair. "[Somai's] exquisite visual compositions (of lonely bedrooms, concrete piers, and nocturnal courtyards) infuse even the film’s racy images with a somber sense of longing and introspection, finding beauty and humanity in the midst of the macabre." ~ New York Times #LoveHotel #ShinjiSomai #JapaneseCinema
