Sunday Morning at the Movies

One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

For over 60 years, the Monday Evening Concerts program has been a tradition in Los Angeles. This Sunday, they've decided to add a new wrinkle by screening documentaries and hosting discussions that tie into the Monday concert. If you're looking for a refined way to spend tomorrow morning, head down to the Goethe-Institut Media Lounge and enjoy a screening of Casa Scelsi: A Voyage into Sound along with a performance by violinist Vincent Royer and a discussion with Luciano Chessa.

Admission is free if you're already a subscriber to the Monday Evening Concert series. If you are not, tickets are available on a first-come basis for a very reasonable $5. The screening begins promptly at 11 am, though you should definitely arrive early to enjoy the delicious breads and pastries that are offered by the Breadbar. A complete schedule for the film series is available here. Enjoy the movie and the music!

One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our nonprofit newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our communities. We are free to follow facts wherever they lead and to hold power to account without fear or favor. Our only loyalty is to our readers and listeners and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen Southern California’s communities.
