Revolutionary: Beethoven and Ginastera – Andreas Klein, Piano
Open to the Public
Hosted by North Mississippi Symphony Orchestra

Sat, March 24, 2018

Although Beethoven and Ginastera were born centuries and continents apart, both were caught up in the political upheaval of their respective times, and both are distinguished by the revolutionary nature of their work. The NMSO performs Ginastera’s extraordinary orchestral showpiece where each instrument of the orchestra is featured. Dynamic pianist Andreas Klein performs the elegant and exciting Piano Concerto No. 4 of Beethoven. The works will be introduced by Maestri Byess and Klein in an entertaining discussion and exploration of the composers and their work.

Actors' Bash Acting Workshop
2018-03-24
Actor’s Bash Acting Workshop
Open to the Public
Hosted by Dead Leaf Productions

The Actor’s Bash is a workshop in which we invite actors, writers and directors to come together. We’ll group up and have a director grab some actors and perform a writer’s scene. We’ll switch up in various arrangements and do multiple scenes/groupings. This will give the directors a chance to sample the stories and potential actors for casting whatever may be their next film. Obviously it gives the writers and actors the same benefit weighing in on the directors. (Led by Writer/Director/Actor Glenn Payne)
We have a group critique after every scene in which we discuss what decisions worked well and which could have potentially been more successful. Held at the Link Centre in Tupelo. Ages 16 and up. $15 per person attending (cash only please – tickets available at the door the day of the event).
You can be a beginner or a seasoned veteran, all are welcome!

Monthly Music Mix - Damein Wash, Mississippi Soul Singer
2018-03-17 19:30 - 22:30 | Concert Hall
Hailing from culturally rich Oxford, MS, Wash has spent a lifetime of musical training in the church. With the addition of classical training
(pursuing Master’s of Music Theory from Ole Miss), there is really nothing this troubadour can’t sing from gospel to blues to jazz to rock n roll to soul to funk. Wash is an avid performer taking Mississippi music to large cities across the United States. Wash writes scores for television and film including arranging and conducting Deep South Gospel for Sony’s Moonshine Recording which was featured on Starz’s American Gods. In recent work, Wash directed a concert of protest songs for Oxford’s Burns Belfry Museum, performed a Mississippi Gospel Blues concert in Marnay Sur Seine, France and Marburg, Germany and assembled a Mississippi soul singer tribute for the Governor’s Bicentennial Celebration. At the Link Centre, Wash will perform Soul Mississippi, a collection of originals. Get ready to be knocked to your knees.
