Sunday Morning at the Movies
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!
