Film series: "...But Then, She's Betty Carter" - Thurs., Aug. 4, 2011 - 8:00-10:00 p.m. -
Brewery Arts Center Performance Hall - 511 West Kings St.
A film by Michelle Parkerson -- 1980, 53 minutes -- This lively film is an unforgettable
portrait of legendary vocalist Betty Carter, one of the greatest exponents of jazz.
Uncompromised by commercialism throughout her long career (she died in 1998), she forged alternative
criteria for success - including founding her own recording company and raising her two
sons as a single parent. Parkerson's special film captures Carter's musical genius, her
paradoxical relationship with the public and her fierce dedication to personal
and artistic independence.
Rita Geil, writer and connoisseur of jazz and film, will
introduce the movie and lead a discussion afterward. Another jazz film, about pianist/composer
Mary Lou Williams, will be shown Thursday, Aug. 25.

Discover Music: Brass - Tues., Aug. 23, 2011 - 7:00-8:30 p.m. -
Brewery Arts Center Performance Hall, 511 W. King Street
The Discover Music Program is comprised of musical ensembles of two to five musicians, who travel to selected Washoe County and regional elementary schools to perform child-friendly music programs. These are designed to give elementary school children a close-up look at symphonic musicians, music and instruments through performances, demos and participatory activities.
Discover Music brings knowledge and expertise to local schools, through entertainment and education. By exposing them to fun and quality music, a child may develop an appreciation of music, and become motivated to play an instrument.
The program currently employs a brass quintet, a percussion trio and a harp-vibraphone duo. In the 2007-2008 school year, the Discover Music ensembles performed in 28 schools, as well as the Washoe County Senior Services Center, thereby reaching more than 15,000 children and seniors. In addition to Washoe County School District, we were able to accommodate Carson City, Truckee, Fernley, Gardnerville, and Yerington. These are schools with limited access to live performances, and our groups were received with great enthusiasm.

Brewery Arts Center Performance Hall - 511 West Kings St.
A film by Joanne Burke - 1990, 60 minutes
Pioneering Black American composer-arranger-pianist Mary Lou Williams is one of the
most remarkable figures in the history of jazz. In this authoritative film, lively
interviews with Williams, Dizzy Gillepsie and Buddy Tate interweave the musical and personal
elements of her dramatic life. At the height of her career, she dropped out of music to
help drug-addicted musicians in Harlem, making a triumphant comeback fifteen years
later. A spirited tribute to Williams' indelible contribution to American culture,
narrated by Roberta Flack.
Rita Geil, writer and connoisseur of jazz and film, will
introduce the movie and lead a discussion afterward. Another jazz film, about singer
Betty Carter, will be shown Thursday, Aug. 4.
