SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series presents Kier-La Janisse’s Woodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror at Crosstown Theater. 2021/193 minutes/Rated R \nTickets: $5 at the door\nFilms begin at 7:30 pm (sharp!) \nWoodlands Dark and Days Bewitched: A History of Folk Horror explores the folk horror phenomenon from its beginnings in a trilogy of films – Michael Reeves’ Witchfinder General (1968)\, Piers Haggard’s Blood on Satan’s Claw (1971) and Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Man (1973) – through its proliferation on British television in the 1970s and its culturally specific manifestations in American\, Asian\, Australian\, and European horror\, to the genre’s revival over the last decade.

Williams holds a DMA in Composition with a cognate in Orchestral Conducting from the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati\, where he also served as a teaching assistant in electronic music.

Williams serves as Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Instrumental Activities at Rhodes College\, where he teaches composition\, music technology\, and leads the Rhodes Orchestra. He previously held teaching positions at Lawrence University\, Bennington College\, and at the Walden School. \nJennifer Jolley is a composer\, blogger\, and professor person. She is also a cat lover and part-time creative opera producer. Jennifer’s work draws toward subjects that are political and even provocative. Her collaboration with librettist Kendall A\, Prisoner of Conscience\, has been described as “the ideal soundtrack and perhaps balm for our current ‘toxic’…times” by Frank J. Oteri of NewMusicBox. Her piece Blue Glacier Decoy\, written as a musical response to the Olympic National Park\, depicts the melting glaciers of the Pacific Northwest. Her partnership with writer Scott Woods\, You Are Not Alone\, evokes the fallout of the #MeToo Movement. Jennifer’s works have been performed by ensembles worldwide. She has received commissions from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the MidAmerican Center for Contemporary Music\, the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble\, Quince Ensemble\, and many others. \nCaroline Shaw is a New York-based musician — vocalist\, violinist\, composer\, and producer — who performs in solo and collaborative projects.

Caroline’s film scores include Erica Fae’s To Keep the Light and Josephine Decker’s Madeline’s Madeline as well as the upcoming short 8th Year of the Emergency by Maureen Towey. She has produced for Kanye West (The Life of Pablo; Ye) and Nas (NASIR)\, and has contributed to records by The National\, and by Arcade Fire’s Richard Reed Parry. \nDescribed as “clearly structured\, colorful and unflaggingly compelling work” (Philadelphia Inquirer) and “a precise appeal to an inner ear beyond the mind” (Gramophone Magazine)\, the music of Michael Fiday is known for its expressive directness\, inventive sound world\, gradually unfolding dramatic narratives\, and distinctive rhythmic energy. His work has been commissioned and performed internationally by a broad range of renowned performers spanning the worlds of classical and contemporary music\, including Atlanta Symphony\, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra\, American Composers Orchestra\, Oakland East Bay Symphony\, Orquestra Sinfonica de Guanajuato\, Percussion Ensemble of The Hague\, Mantra Percussion\, Percussion Group Cincinnati\, Duo Damiana (flutist Molly Barth\, guitarist Dieter Hennings)\, pianists Marc-Andre Hamelin and James Tocco\, violinists Carla Kihlstedt and Graeme Jennings\, and electric guitarists Seth Josel\, Derek Johnson and Taylor Levine.

DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series presents Cirio Santiago’s The Muthers at Crosstown Theater. 1976/93 minutes/Rated R \nTickets: $5 at the door\nFilms begin at 7:30 pm (sharp!) \nWe can’t say it any better than the incredible American Genre Film Archive\, which is lovingly saving films like this for folks like us to show again in all their glory on a giant screen: “Sleaze ahoy! Directed by heroic smut merchant Cirio Santiago (TNT Jackson\, Vampire Hookers) and shot on-the-cheap in the Philippines\, The Muthers is like stepping into one of Martin Denny’s exotica LPs while it plays in Jess Franco’s living room. Filled with karate chops and epic psychedelic-funk jams\, this is the story of two pirates (Jeanne Bell and Rosanne Katon) who rob and loot on the China Seas\, get sent to a women’s prison presided over by a sadistic warden\, then revolt and turn the sky black with the smoke from their machine guns. In other words\, this is the only revolutionary-pirate-women-in-prison movie that you’ll ever need. Restored from the original negative for maximum savagery!” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents After Hours
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series presents Martin Scorsese’s After Hours at Crosstown Theater. 1985/97 minutes/Rated R \nTickets: $5 at the door\nFilms begin at 7:30 pm (sharp!) \nEver have a night where nothing seems to go right? After releasing The King of Comedy just a few years before\, Martin Scorsese kept working on his “comedy chops” with After Hours — the story of one night in the life of everyman\, data entry worker Paul Hackett\, played by Griffin Dunne (An American Werewolf in London and My Girl). It is hard to describe the level of strangeness and unease After Hours puts on the viewer. Paul’s night begins with a happenstance meeting that could seemingly result in a possible romantic encounter with Rosanna Arquette (Desperately Seeking Susan and Silverado). The plot devolves from there into an unceasing chain of worst-case scenarios. With Teri Garr (Young Frankenstein and Close Encounters of the Third Kind)\, Catherine O’Hara (Beetlejuice\, Home Alone ONE AND TWO!!)\, Linda Fiorentino (The Last Seduction)\, Bronson Pinchot (COUSIN BALKI!!!) and CHEECH AND CHONG!! YES\, THAT CHEECH AND CHONG!! CAN’T MISS!!! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Crosstown Arthouse presents Black Orpheus
DESCRIPTION:The Crosstown Arthouse Film Series presents Marcel Camus’ Black Orpheus at Crosstown Theater. 1959/107 minutes/Rated PG \nTickets: $5 at the door\nFilms begin at 7:30 pm (sharp!) \nBlack Orpheus is a retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus (Breno Mello) and Eurydice (Marpessa Dawn) and is set in the streets of Rio during Carnival.  When released in 1959\, Black Orpheus was an arthouse hit\, driven by the incredible cinematography\, the location\, and the bossa nova music. Despite its complications and glossing over of what life was like for the poor in Rio\, Black Orpheus is without doubt a cultural milestone and an influence on later works in film and music. Black Orpheus is one of those award-winning films everyone is supposed to seem\, but in this case\, seriously\, you should come see it! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features.

SUMMARY:Reigning Sound
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Memphis garage rockers Reigning Sound at Crosstown Theater. \nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 8 pm \nTickets: $20 advance\n \nTickets are $25 on day of show \nFounded by Memphis blues-punk legend Greg Cartwright — a former member of the Oblivians\, the Compulsive Gamblers\, and ’68 Comeback — Reigning Sound fuse the hot-wired energy of garage rock with the deep emotional resonance of classic soul music in a manner that suggests a cross between the early Rolling Stones and the Sonics. While the band could rock convincingly\, Cartwright’s songwriting showed a maturity and emotional strength that set him apart from the majority of garage rock acts\, and the group’s R&B accents reflected the intelligent passion of the songs. Reigning Sound proved they could wail hard on 2002’s Time Bomb High School\, but their work with Mary Weiss of the Shangri-Las on her 2007 solo effort Dangerous Game\, 2014’s mature\, impassioned Shattered\, and 2021’s A Little More Time with Reigning Sound found them turning up their soul influences as they employed a more dynamic approach. \nFeaturing Cartwright on vocals and guitar\, Jeremy Scott on bass\, Greg Roberson on drums\, and Alex Greene on keyboards and guitar\, Reigning Sound made their recorded debut with a three-song 7″ in May of 2001; their first full-length album\, Break Up Break Down\, was released a month later on Sympathy for the Record Industry. In August of 2002\, the group upped the rock quotient on its second album (and first for In the Red)\, Time Bomb High School\, and the group landed a high-profile gig opening for Swedish garage wunderkinds the Hives on their North American tour. Alex Greene dropped out as a full-time group member by the time 2004’s Too Much Guitar was released\, though he did appear on the disc as a guest musician\, and the band followed its release with more touring\, both as a headliner and once again as opener for the Hives. The band also gained another well-known champion in Little Steven Van Zandt\, who gave the band frequent airplay on his syndicated radio show. In September 2005 Reigning Sound released Home for Orphans through Sympathy for the Record Industry. It featured reworked versions of Too Much Guitar material along with some unreleased tracks. They also recorded and released two live albums in 2005\, Live at Maxwell’s and Live at Goner Records. After a long break from recording under their own name (though Cartwright and the new lineup of bassist David Wayne Gay\, drummer Lance Wille\, and keyboardist Dave Amels backed ex-Shangri-La Mary Weiss on her 2007 album Dangerous Game)\, the band resurfaced in 2009 with a new studio record for In the Red\, Love and Curses. \nIn 2011\, after Cartwright had detoured into touring and recording with a reunited Oblivians\, he assembled a new lineup of Reigning Sound\, with Dave Amels returning on keyboards alongside new members Mike Catanese on guitar\, Benjamin Trokan on bass\, and Mikey Post on drums. Their first project was something out of the ordinary; the auto manufacturer Scion was launching a music-themed promotion campaign and Reigning Sound partnered with them to create an album that would be released by Scion’s ad hoc label\, Scion Audio/Visual. The album\, Abdication … For Your Love\, featured five cuts produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys and gave the group a more polished presentation without cutting back on their energy. Reigning Sound emphasized a more mature and soulful approach for their next album. They rolled into Brooklyn’s Daptone Studio to record Shattered\, which became the band’s first release for Merge Records in July 2014. In April 2019\, Merge gave Abdication … For Your Love a mass-market reissue\, with the addition of a bonus track\, “What Did I Tell You.” Greg Cartwright reunited the original Reigning Sound lineup of Alex Greene\, Jeremy Scott\, and Greg Roberson for a short tour in 2020\, and shortly afterwards the band went into Electraphonic Recording in Memphis (augmented by second drummer Graham Winchester) to record a fresh batch of songs. The finished product\, A Little More Time with Reigning Sound\, was released by Merge in May 2021. — Mark Denning

SUMMARY:CANCELLED Kraftwerk 3-D at Crosstown Theater
DESCRIPTION:This tour has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. \nElectro pioneers Kraftwerk are bringing their 50th anniversary tour to the Kemmons Wilson Family Stage at Crosstown Theater. The performance will benefit Crosstown Arts\, which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2020. \nSOLD OUT\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 8 pm \nKraftwerk celebrate 50th anniversary with a North American tour. Bringing together music and performance art\, Kraftwerk 3-D concerts are a true “Gesamtkunstwerk” – a total work of art. \nThe multi-media project Kraftwerk was started in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. They set up their electronic Kling Klang Studio in Düsseldorf\, Germany\, where they conceived and produced all Kraftwerk albums. \nBy the mid 1970s\, Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition for their revolutionary electronic sound scapes and their musical experimentation with robotics and other technical innovations. With their visions of the future\, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack for the digital age of the 21st century. \nTheir compositions\, using innovative techniques\, synthetic voices\, and computerized rhythms\, have had a major international influence across an entire range of musical genres: from Electro to Hip Hop\, from Techno to SynthPop. \nIn their live performances\, Kraftwerk — Ralf Hütter\, Henning Schmitz\, Fritz Hilpert\, Falk Grieffenhagen — illustrate their belief in the respective contributions of both man and machine. \nStarting with the retrospective of their catalogue at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2012\, Kraftwerk have returned full circle back to their origins within the Düsseldorf art scene of the late Sixties. \nThe 3-D concert series at MoMA was followed by further presentations at Tate Modern Turbine Hall (London)\, Akasaka Blitz (Tokyo) Opera House (Sydney)\, Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles)\, Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris)\, Neue National Galerie (Berlin)\, and Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao). \nIn 2014\, Ralf Hütter and his former partner were honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Crosstown Arthouse presents Walking Tall
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nThe legends surrounding Buford Pusser loom large over both Memphis and McNairy County\, where he was sheriff from 1964 to 1970. Buford was a professional wrestler who became a sheriff in an area overrun by the Dixie Mafia. He went to war with and killed Louise Hathcock\, the operator of The Shamrock Motel\, where the Babushka lady was supposedly seen hanging out a week or so before JFK got popped. \nBuford’s star really started to shine when his friend\, country and rockabilly singer Eddie Bond started singing about him. Legend has it\, when Buford got ambushed by the Dixie Mafia (and his wife was killed and his face was shot off)\, he hid out in Memphis at a nightclub on Madison that Eddie Bond owned with “The Fabulous One” Jackie Fargo. \nBuford’s legend and story was interesting enough that they made THREE movies about him\, and the first is Walking Tall. The film fictionalizes Buford’s journey from bear wrestler to one-man crime crusader. Walking Tall stars character actor Jo Don Baker (Joysticks and Fletch) as Buford Pusser and Elizabeth Hartman (A Patch of Blue and The Secret of NIMH) as his wife Pauline\, plus Lief Garrett (Macon Count Line\, Walking Tall Part II\, Final Chapter: Walking Tall\, Tiger Beat Cover Model) and Lief’s real-life sister Dawn Lyn as the Pusser kids! \n1973/Phil Karlson/1973/125 minutes \nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp at Crosstown Theater\nTickets are $5 (at the door only)

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Crosstown Arthouse presents The Muthers
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nWe can’t say it better than the incredible American Genre Film Archive\, who are lovingly saving films like this for folks like us to show again in all their glory on a giant screen! \nSays the American Genre Film Archive: “Sleaze ahoy! Directed by heroic smut merchant Cirio Santiago (TNT Jackson\, Vampire Hookers) and shot on-the-cheap in the Philippines\, The Muthers is like stepping into one of Martin Denny’s exotica LPs while it plays in Jess Franco’s living room. Filled with karate chops and epic psychedelic-funk jams\, this is the story of two pirates (Jeanne Bell and Rosanne Katon) who rob and loot on the China Seas\, get sent to a women’s prison presided over by a sadistic warden\, then revolt and turn the sky black with the smoke from their machine guns. In other words\, this is the only revolutionary-pirate-women-in-prison movie that you’ll ever need. Restored from the original negative for maximum savagery!” \nCirio Santiago/1976/93 minutes \nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp at Crosstown Theater\nTickets are $5 (at the door only)

SUMMARY:POSTPONED A Change of Tone\, a Music Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nIn A Change of Tone\, musicians will “exhibit” new work in one venue while performing in another\, creating a non-traditional listening experience. \nThe goal of A Change of Tone is to invite artists to sonically and musically explore the varied interrelations between technical musical themes and humanity: what we experience\, observe\, believe\, and imagine within the realms of our intellectual capabilities. \nAdmission is free (but donations of any amount are suggested); please RSVP on Eventbrite\nDoors at 7 pm | Performances beginning each night at 7:30 pm \nLineup:\nSaturday\, April 18 – NICHOLAS MALONEY\nSaturday\, April 19 – GUNTER GAUPP\nMonday\, April 20 – THE ACHELOIS COLLECTIVE \n\nABOUT THE EVENT:\nDuring this event\, there will be two live-feed interconnections between The Green Room music venue at Crosstown Arts and Crosstown Theater. The first feed will be an audio feed for the audience in The Green Room\, as the musicians\, out of sight\, perform their original work in the empty Crosstown Theater. The second feed will video-capture The Green Room audience so the performing musicians in the Theater may virtually watch and technically perform for their audience on the screen. The audience in The Green Room will be informed in advance that they will be watched by the performing musicians in the theater\, creating an immersive environment in which the performers’ new music might achieve a vivid and seemingly living omnipresence. \nSimilar to the experience of being inside a haunted house or abandoned building\, this spectral approach to auditory perception will be\, among other things\, a sonic experiment in vulnerability. It will be an attempt to enhance and heighten the audio-sensory experience for the listener and perhaps will intensify the presence and impact that music can have when our fight-or-flight response is instinctively activated\, giving the sounds we hear the power to demand our full attention. \n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \nNicholas Maloney:\nNicholas Maloney is a sound artist\, multi-instrumentalist\, performer\, and recording engineer from Jackson\, Mississippi. Working primarily in the areas of drone\, ambient\, musique concrète\, and electroacoustics\, Nicholas creates recordings that he feels can provoke emotion\, while at the same time offering a palette of sound that can be used to practice the rewarding act of deep listening. He looks to challenge the listeners’ focus and perception of sound. Much of his work explores the textural nature of sound within a framework of progressing and evolving compositions. He is interested in the interaction among texture\, sound\, and space. \nUnder his full name\, Nicholas Maloney creates and releases compositions using field recordings\, found sounds\, and a variety of processing and audio transformation techniques. He also records under the moniker\, Blanket Swimming\, exploring the more melodic and ambient side of experimental music using guitar\, synthesizers\, tape manipulation\, field recordings\, voice\, and other instrumentation. Maloney also records under the name Sleep Silver Lightning\, exploring compositions for the guitar and voice. In 2015\, Maloney co-founded the net-label Warm Milk Recordings with Whitson Ramsey. \nGunter Gaupp:\nGunter is a composer and teacher based in Memphis\, who’s work combines interests in noise composition and genre music. Born in Louisiana\, Gunter’s recent work maintains a connection to jazz and folk traditions in his approach to melody and harmony\, while exploring new possibilities through extended technique and graphic notation. His music has been premiered recently in Chicago and Green Bay\, as well as internationally in Vienna and Paris. Gunter completed his MM in 2019 at the University of Memphis\, where he studied composition under Kamran Ince and John Baur. More recently\, Gunter has begun teaching music to middle and high school students at Memphis Rise Academy. Gunter will be presenting his new work for A Change of Tone as a quintet\, featuring Aaron Phillips (saxophone)\, Anna Welden (voice)\, Bryan Pallotta (piano)\, Michael Todd (percussion)\, and Ben Walsh (double bass). \nThe Achelois Collective:\nThe Achelois Collective is a contemporary chamber ensemble dedicated to helping co-design opportunities to create healthier communities through the art of new music. The ensemble’s 10 members are featured as composers\, collaborators\, chambers musicians\, and soloists who hail from across the continental U.S. Established in the summer of 2019\, TAC seeks to elevate\, celebrate\, and embolden female/non-binary voices in modern music and to support projects by artists of under-acknowledged backgrounds and nationalities. \nIn an effort to assist the world of classical music to become more egalitarian\, TAC creates spaces for active participation and appreciation for audiences of all genders\, ages and musical knowledge. Equally important\, the Collective strives to represent within themselves a model of respect and appreciation for the unique abilities and perspectives of their members and collaborators.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED  Crosstown Arthouse presents Black Orpheus
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nBlack Orpheus is a retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice\, set in the streets of Rio during Carnival. When released in 1959\, Black Orpheus was an arthouse hit\, driven by incredible cinematography\, location\, and bossa nova music. \nOnly later\, people started to re-examine Black Orpheus\, its popularity\, and its audience — especially the idea of an all-black cast being shoehorned into a Greek myth through the lens of a white French director. Despite its complications and glossing-over of what life was like for the poor in Rio\, Black Orpheus is\, without doubt\, a cultural milestone and an influence on later works in film and music. Black Orpheus is another one of those award-winning films everyone is supposed to see\, but in this case\, seriously\, you should come see it! \nMarcel Camus/1959/107 minutes \nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp at Crosstown Theater\nTickets are $5 (at the door only)

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Kafé Kirk with special guest Dave Koz
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nJoin Grammy-winning saxophonist Kirk Whalum for Kafé Kirk\, a monthly jazz series in Crosstown Theater featuring musical and spiritual collaborations with special guest artists. This month’s performance will feature saxophonist Dave Koz. \nThis show will feature two performances — a matinee at 4 pm and an evening show at 7 pm. VIP tickets will ONLY be available for the 4 pm performance. \nGeneral admission tickets\, 4 pm — $50\nVIP tickets (includes a meet-and-greet and free CD) — $70\nDoors open at 3 pm for VIP and 3:30 pm for general seating | Show at 4 pm\n*** VIP experience has been relocated to the black box of the theater. The VIP experience includes a signed copy of a Kirk Whalum CD and a meet-and-greet. \nGeneral admission tickets\, 7 pm — $50 \nAbout Kirk Whalum:\nSoulful\, passionate\, stirring … these are the words most often used to describe Kirk’s music. Forged from his Memphis gospel roots and his 1980s initiation into the thriving Houston nightclub scene\, Kirk’s big\, rich tenor sound is unmistakably his. The 80s were highlighted by Kirk’s stepping out of his blossoming sideman role and forming his own band. It was there that Kirk ultimately developed both his “voice” and songwriting in the crucible of the local club scene — especially at a rooftop club called Cody’s. It was also in Houston where jazz pianist Bob James “discovered” him and brought him on tour\, which led to five successful albums with Columbia Records\, including Cache\, Kirk’s first No. 1 album. Kirk and Bob also received a Grammy nomination for their collaboration album\, Joined at the Hip. \nAfter moving to Los Angeles\, Kirk became an in-demand session player for top artists like Barbara Streisand\, Al Jarreau\, Luther Vandross\, Larry Carlton\, Quincy Jones\, and\, most notably\, Whitney Houston\, amongst many others. It’s his sax heard on the mega-hit\, “I Will Always Love You.” Kirk soon followed that career high point with his phenomenal hit album released on Warner Bros. Records\, For You\, perhaps the most successful of over 25 solo recordings to date. Others include his eclectic\, and much-lauded\, Gospel According to Jazz series (Chapters 1\, 2\, 3 and 4). In addition to his many solo projects\, Kirk was also a member of the popular soul/jazz group\, BWB\, which features Kirk as the “W” of the group with Rick Braun (trumpet) and Norman Brown (guitar). \nAbout Dave Koz:\nIn a recording career that spans nearly three decades\, saxophonist Dave Koz has racked up an astoundingly impressive array of honors and achievements: nine GRAMMY® nominations\, 11 No. 1 albums on Billboard’s Current Contemporary Jazz Albums chart\, numerous world tours\, 13 sold-out Dave Koz & Friends At Sea cruises\, performances for multiple U.S. presidents\, a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame\, and appearances on a multitude of television shows\, including “Good Morning America\,” “The View\,” “The Tonight Show\,” “Entertainment Tonight\,” and more. A Platinum-selling artist\, Koz is also known as a humanitarian\, entrepreneur\, radio host\, and instrumental music advocate.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Crosstown Arthouse presents Tokyo Knights
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice. \nSeijun Suzuki was a journeyman director for Nikkatsu\, one of the oldest Japanese film production companies in existence. Suzuki eventually went from journeyman to auteur\, slipping weird elements into what should have been run-of-the-mill Yakuza fare. Finally Suzuki made the legendary Branded to Kill (R.I.P.\, Joe Shishido) for Nikkatsu and was fired! \nSuzuki persevered and made more films\, but Crosstown Arts is going back to his roots with a screening of Tokyo Knights. Pre-dating the idea of “millennials\,” Tokyo Knights  is about a boy named Koji who is good at\, well\, everything. Koji’s pop passes\, and Koji goes home to take over his family’s “construction business\,” crush it at school\, and get the truth as to what happened with his daddy. \nSeijun Suzuki/1961/82 minutes \nThe Crosstown Arthouse Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground and documentary features. \nFilms begin at 7:30 pm sharp at Crosstown Theater\nTickets are $5 (at the door only)

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Crosstown Arthouse presents Klute

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Spotlight Concert Series: Piano Quintets Lost in Time
DESCRIPTION:** This event is postponed until further notice.  \nJoin us in Crosstown Theater for the Spotlight Concert Series\, featuring piano quintets by composers Dora Pejacovic and Zdenek Fibich. \nThis special performance by Memphis Symphony Orchestra musicians Priscilla Tsai\, Jordan Musgrave\, Ruth Burgess\, Josh Muzzi\, and pianist Tingting Yao features a program of piano quintets “lost in time” by composers Dora Pejacovic and Zdenek Fibich. \nGeneral Admission $10 | $5 with student ID\nDoors at 6 pm | Performance at 7 pm \nViolinist Jordan Musgraves writes about the program:\n“We happened upon these pieces in a YouTube channel that features recordings of obscure pieces. These are two that really stand out\, not only because the quality is so good but because when you dig down into why they never became widely known\, it seems such a shame that we don’t know these composers today. \nZdenek Fibich was a contemporary of Smetana and Dvorak and actually the first to ever use Czech folk music in symphonic works (their use of folk song was inspired by Fibich). In his time\, he did have some acclaim\, though he was criticized for not being quite Czech nationalist enough and especially for composing operas in the Wagnerian style. Born of a Czech father\, a forestry official\, and a German-Viennese mother\, he was of mixed heritage and was boycotted by most of the Czech orchestras. His music only survives because of his students\, who championed it. \nDora Pejacovic\, a Hungarian-Croatian composer firmly in the Romantic era\, was slightly later in time. Her music did not reach wide acclaim\, but even in an era of music and society dominated by men\, she had a large output of composition\, starting at age 12. She was mostly a self-taught composer\, but luckily for us\, was encouraged by several other composers who saw her talent and advocated for her music. She might have composed much more but sadly passed away following childbirth at age 39. Today\, there is an ongoing effort to publish her music\, much of which remains unpublished.
