TRAVIS ANDERSON TRIO - THE MUSIC OF GERSHWIN

The Travis Anderson Trio celebrates the music of George Gershwin, perhaps the greatest American composer. At twenty-five years old (and in the span of just two weeks), he wrote “Rhapsody In Blue.” This piece turned the musical world upside down by bringing a jazz sound to the concert hall. Furthermore, from “Summertime” to “An American In Paris”, Gershwin’s influence has been felt for over 100 years. The Trio celebrates his monumental contributions to Broadway, movies, the concert hall, and perhaps most robustly, jazz.

Columbia Heights Movie in the Park - Back to the Future

In this 1980s sci-fi classic, small-town California teen Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is thrown back into the '50s when an experiment by his eccentric scientist friend Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) goes awry. Traveling through time in a modified DeLorean car, Marty encounters young versions of his parents (Crispin Glover, Lea Thompson), and must make sure that they fall in love or he'll cease to exist. Even more dauntingly, Marty has to return to his own time and save the life of Doc Brown.
