The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra: Roman Rabinovich Plays Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 20

“Spellbinding” (Calgary Herald) pianist Roman Rabinovich plucks
at emotions just beneath the surface in his SPCO debut. Set to
the surrealist poetry of Max Jacob, Francis Poulenc’s chamber cantata Le bal masqué (The Masked Ball)
offers a fantastical escape from reality alongside Igor Stravinsky’s lively Basel
Concerto for String Orchestra. Works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart frame the
concert, including his popular Piano Concerto in D Minor.

Screening: "Navigating THRU: An Appalachain Trail Documentary"

Every year, thousands of people attempt a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, but only 1 in 4 will be successful. Of those who are successful, just 25% are women. THRU follows women attempting a 2016 thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail and discovering what it takes to become "the 25% of the 25%". Told from a third person perspective (a unique deviation from most first person perspective hiking documentaries), THRU aims to explore the everyday struggles any thru-hiker faces as well as what it means to be a woman on and off the trail.
