Ithaca Premiere
The Silence Before Bach
Thursday, September 4 7:15 WSH
Saturday, September 6 7:15 WSH
Tuesday, September 9 7:15 WSH
directed by Pere Portabella
This highly unusual film by legendary Spanish Surrealist Portabella "brings Bach's music to life with a mysterious, magnificent blend of drama, documentary, and quasi-surrealist whimsy. Beginning with a scene of a player piano rattling off the Goldberg Variations while rolling through a bright, bare loft, Portabella tickles the senses with a series of skits... From puckish humor and borderline kitsch, a great and serious notion emerges: the construction of modern Europe on the basis of classical music." (Richard Brody, The New Yorker) This film is will not be available on DVD and is only in the country for a limited period of time -- don't miss the rare opportunity to see it! In Spanish, Catalan and German with English subtitles. 35mm

Subject: Recruiting Musicians for Persian Music Ensemble
To: cyk8@cornell.edu
Dear Prof. Kim,
I am a senior in mechanical engineering, trying to form a sort of esoteric music ensemble focused on traditional Persian music, so I wanted to ask if you could forward an email to the orchestra to gauge interest among members. I'm especially interested in violinists and cellists. If you can, please send them the following blurb:
"Attention Orchestra Members!
In an effort to form a small ensemble (~5 musicians) that studies and plays Persian music, I am asking anyone in orchestra if they are at all interested in exploring and learning about this style. Classical Persian poets were deeply spiritual thinkers and their poetry was the vehicle through which they expressed their philosophy and approach to life. Inevitably, the music that has evolved based on this poetry is also deeply spiritual, inspired by the profound and mystical aspects of the poetry. The purpose of this ensemble is to learn something new and to have fun doing it; don't be mistaken, this is not going to be demanding or a huge time commitment.
If any of you are interested in joining in your free time, please contact me.
Thanks,
Ashley Biria

Prof. Kim, I appreciate your help.
