  • The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents AMADEUS

    Crosstown Theater 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, United States

    Miloš Forman directed Peter Shaffer’s screenplay, based on his Tony Award-winning play, about the 18th century rivalry between journeyman court composer Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham in an Academy Award-winning tour-de-force performance) and his rival, young upstart Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (fellow Best Actor nominee Tom Hulce). Saul Zaentz’s lavish production features opulent period details, while Shaffer’s witty script speaks eloquently about the challenge of art while leaving room for Mozart’s gorgeous music to dominate. The film earned 11 nominations and its 8 Oscar wins include Best Picture, Actor, Art Direction, Costume Design, Directing, Makeup, Sound, and for Shaffer’s adapted screenplay.

  • Lovelight Orchestra featuring John Nemeth

    Crosstown Theater 1350 Concourse Ave., Memphis, TN, United States

    The phrase “the Memphis sound” often evokes Sun rockabilly or the mid-‘60s “deep soul” era of Stax, but a style equally important in the city’s rich musical history was the big band blues found on the singles of Bobby “Blue” Bland, B.B. King and Herman ”Junior” Parker. It’s a sound proudly celebrated today by the Love Light Orchestra, a group of seasoned Memphis musicians whose name derives from Bland’s 1961 hit “Turn On Your Love Light.”
