SUMMARY:Great Composers: In Search of Mozart
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, Jan 22 1 & 7pm\n\nWed\, Feb 12 4pm \nTo Purchase Tickets Click HERE \n“Outstanding. A must-see film!” – Chicago Sun-Times \nMade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth\, In Search Of Mozart was produced with the world’s leading orchestras and musicians\, and is told through a 25\,000 mile journey along every route Mozart followed. This is a detective story that takes us to the heart of genius. \nWithout resorting to docu-drama or visual re-enactment\, In Search of Mozart traces the composer’s life through his music and extensive correspondence. From K1a to K626 (Requiem)\, over 80 works are featured in chronological order\, revealing striking parallels between the music and Mozart’s own experiences. Throughout\, it is the music that takes centre stage\, with the jigsaw of Mozart’s life fitting around it. With rigorous analysis from musicologists and experts such as Jonathan Miller\, Cliff Eisen\, Nicholas Till\, Bayan Northcott and the late Stanley Sadie\, a new\, vivid impression of the composer emerges. It dispels the many common myths about Mozart’s genius\, health\, relationships\, death and character\, to present a new image\, very different from Milos Forman’s Amadeus. \nNarrated by Juliet Stevenson and with Mozart voiced by Samuel West\, the film features interviews and performances with over 70 of the greatest exponents of Mozart’s music including: Christophe Rousset\, Sir Roger Norrington\, Rene Jacobs\, Sir Charles Mackerras\, Renee Fleming\, Magdalena Kozena\, Sandrine Piau\, Ian Bostridge\, Gerald Finley\, Sir Thomas Allen\, Imogen Cooper\, Pierre Laurent Aimard\, Leif ove Andsnes\, Lang Lang and Skampa Quartet. Frans Bruggen’s Orchestra of 18th Century and Ronald Brautigam perform much of the orchestral repertoire but the film also includes live performances from the Vienna Philharmonic\, Norwegian Chamber Orchestra\, Academy of St Martin in the Fields\, Salzburg Camerata\, Bayerischen Rundfunks\, Concerto Koln\, Netherlands Opera\, Staatskapelle Berlin and Prague Estates Theatre.

SUMMARY:Joan Frank launches two prize-winning new books: Where You're All Going\, a quartet of novellas\, winner of the Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction\, and Try to Get Lost: Essays on Travel and Place 
DESCRIPTION:Joan Frank Doubleheader! Joan Frank launches two prize-winning new books: Where You’re All Going\, a quartet of novellas\, winner of the Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction\, and Try to Get Lost: Essays on Travel and Place (winner of the River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Prize).\n\n\n\n\nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of either book in advance by speaking to a bookseller or online by clicking on the covers below. \n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, February 20\, 2020 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Where You’re All Going\, Frank invites readers into the inner lives of characters bewildered by love\, grief\, and inexplicable affinities. A young couple navigates a strange friendship and unexpected pregnancy; a woman recalls the bizarre fallout of her former lover’s fame; a lonely widow is drawn to an arrogant young man; a wealthy spiritual seeker grapples with what wealth cannot affect. Witty and humane\, Frank taps the riches of the novella form as she writes of loneliness\, friendship\, loss\, and the filaments of intimacy that connect us through time. \n“Funny\, edgy\, poignant and true….You’ll feel more alive when you read these stories\, and hold closer to you the people you cherish.” \nThrough the author’s travels in Europe and the United States\, Try to Get Lost explores the quest for place that compels and defines us: the things we carry\, how politics infuse geography\, media’s depictions of an idea of home\, the ancient and modern reverberations of the word “hotel\,” and the ceaseless discovery generated by encounters with self and others on familiar and foreign ground. Frank posits that in fact time itself may be our ultimate\, inhabited place—the “vastest real estate we know\,” with a “stunningly short” lease. \n“A bold\, engaging disquisition on the perils and promises of travel: both cranky and wise\, worldly and cultivated\, humorous and rueful\, its every sentence sparkles. All in all\, it is thoroughly entertaining\, a sophisticated pleasure.”—Phillip Lopate \nJoan Frank is the author of seven books of literary fiction and a book of collected essays. Her last novel\, All the News I Need\, won the Juniper Prize for Fiction. Her book of essays\, Because You Have To: A Writing Life\, won the Silver ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Award. A MacDowell Fellow and recipient of many honors\, Frank also reviews literary fiction and nonfiction. She lives with her husband\, playwright Bob Duxbury\, in the North Bay. \n\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\n2904 College Avenue\n\nBerkeley\, CA 94705

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Tallent launches Scratched: A Memoir of Perfectionism
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Tallent launches Scratched: A Memoir of Perfectionism\, her bold and brilliant exploration of the ferocious desire for perfection which has shaped her writing life as well as her rich\, dramatic\, and constantly surprising personal life. \n\n\n\n\n “One of the finest explorations I know of what it means to be a woman and an artist.”–Sigrid Nunez \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of Scratched by speaking to a bookseller or clicking on the cover below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nScratched is an intimate account of the uses a child\, and the adult she becomes\, will find for perfectionism and the role it will play in every part of her life. Elizabeth Tallent’s story begins in a hospital in mid-1950s suburban Washington\, D.C.\, when her mother refuses to hold her newborn daughter\, shocking behavior that baffles the nurses. Imagining her own mother’s perfectionist ideal at this critical moment\, Tallent moves back and forth in time\, juxtaposing moments in the past with the present in this innovative and spellbinding narrative. \nTallent traces her journey from her early years in which she perceived herself as “the child whose flaws let disaster into an otherwise perfect family\,” to her adulthood\, when perfectionism came to affect everything. In the decade between 27 and 37\, she published five literary books with Knopf and her short stories appeared in The New Yorker. But this extraordinary start to her career is followed by twenty-two years of silence. She wrote\, or rather published\, nothing at all. Why? Scratched is the remarkable response to that question. \nTallent’s early publications secure her a coveted teaching job at Stanford University. As she toggles between Palo Alto and the Mendocino coast where she lives\, raises her son Gabriel\, and pursues an important psychoanalysis\, she grapples with the perfectionism that has always been home to her. Eventually\, she finds love and acceptance in the most unlikely place\, and finally accepts an “as is” relationship with herself and others. \nHer final triumph is the writing of this memoir\, filled with wit\, humor\, and heart\, and unlike any other you will read. Scratched is a brave book that repeatedly searches for the emotional truth beneath the conventional surface of existence. \nElizabeth Tallent\, author of a novel and four story collections including Mendocino Fire\, has appeared in The Threepenny Review\, The Paris Review\, The New Yorker\, Tin House\, and ZYZZYVA as well as in the Best American Short Stories\, Best American Essays\, O. Henry Prize\, and Pushcart Prize award anthologies. She teaches in Stanford’s Creative Writing Program and lives with her wife\, an antiques dealer\, on the Mendocino Coast.

SUMMARY:Adam Hochschild reads from Rebel Cinderella: From Rags to Riches to Radical\, the Epic Journey of Rose Pastor Stokes\,
DESCRIPTION:The astonishing but forgotten story of an immigrant sweatshop worker who married an heir to a great American fortune and became one of the most charismatic radical leaders of her time. \n“Through the lens of a remarkable marriage\, Adam Hochschild draws a vivid portrait of the Gilded Age–of immigrants\, sweatshops\, tenements\, strikes\, enclaves of patrician privilege\, and a ‘citadel of socialism’ on a private island. At the center of it all is Rose\, whose extraordinary story ends as anything but a fairy tale.”–Jean Strouse \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of Rebel Cinderella by speaking to a bookseller or clicking on the cover below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRose Pastor arrived in New York City in 1903\, a Jewish refugee from Russia who had worked in cigar factories since the age of eleven. Two years later\, she captured headlines across the globe when she married James Graham Phelps Stokes\, scion of one of the legendary 400 families of New York high society. Together\, this unusual couple joined the burgeoning Socialist Party and\, over the next dozen years\, moved among the liveliest group of activists and dreamers this country has ever seen. Their friends and houseguests included Emma Goldman\, Big Bill Haywood\, Eugene V. Debs\, John Reed\, Margaret Sanger\, Jack London\, and W.E.B. Du Bois. Rose stirred audiences to tears and led strikes of restaurant waiters and garment workers. She campaigned alongside the country’s earliest feminists to publicly defy laws against distributing information about birth control\, earning her notoriety as “one of the dangerous influences of the country” from President Woodrow Wilson. But in a way no one foresaw\, her too-short life would end in the same abject poverty with which it began. \nBy a master of narrative nonfiction\, Rebel Cinderella unearths the rich\, overlooked life of a social justice campaigner who was truly ahead of her time. \nAdam Hochschild is the author of ten books. King Leopold’s Ghost was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award\, as was To End All Wars. His Bury the Chains was a finalist for the National Book Award and won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and PEN USA Literary Award. He lives in Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Great Composers: In Search of Chopin
DESCRIPTION:Tue\, Mar 3 1 & 7pm\n\nTue\, Mar 24 4pm \nTo Purchase Tickets Click HERE \n“Gripping!” – The Times \n“Outstanding!” – Chicago Sun Times \n“A masterpiece!” – Sydney Morning Herald \n“A directional coup – inventively filmed and cooly perceptive” – New Zealand Herald \n“An indelible portrait offering a rich and personal insight into Chopin the man and his music” – Urbancinefile \nAcclaimed director Phil Grabsky brings the life and music of Fryderyk Chopin – one of the greatest composers of all time – to Rialto Cinemas. \nHis grave in Paris remains a place of pilgrimage and his music continues to sell out concert halls worldwide – but who exactly was this man who was terrified of public performance\, who fled his Polish homeland for Paris never to return\, took up with the most notorious transvestite in France\, rarely gave public performances and\, despite a life of ill-health\, wrote some of the deepest and most powerful music ever written? How exactly did a young Polish boy rise to such heady heights? \nFor four years\, award-winning Phil Grabsky travelled the globe in his quest to lay bare the life and music of Chopin. Some of the world’s best musicians provide the music\, including Leif Ove Andsnes\, Daniel Barenboim\, Ronald Brautigam and the Orchestra of the 18th Century. \nFunny\, heart-breaking\, inspirational – this film has been called the first to really illustrate the true nature of this remarkable and still widely-loved composer.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITION On Screen 2019/20 Season: Lucian Freud: A Self Portrait
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, Mar 4 1 & 7pm\n\nWed\, Mar 25 4pm \nTo Purchase Tickets Click HERE \nExploring one of the most highly original and popular artists of recent years – the grandson of Sigmund Freud – who was a key figure in London’s radical post-war art scene! \nFor the first time in history the Royal Academy of Arts in London\, in collaboration with the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston\, is bringing together Lucian Freud’s self-portraits. \nThe exhibition will display more than 50 paintings\, prints and drawings in which this modern master of British art turned his unflinching eye firmly on himself. One of the most celebrated painters of our time\, Lucian Freud is also one of very few 20th-century artists who portrayed themselves with such consistency. \nSpanning nearly seven decades his self-portraits give a fascinating insight into both his psyche and his development as a painter\, from his earliest portrait painted in 1939 to the final one executed 64 years later. When seen together\, his portraits represent an engrossing study into the dynamic of ageing and the process of self-representation. This intensely compelling exhibition creates a unique opportunity for EXHIBITION ON SCREEN to reveal the life’s work of a master in one show.

SUMMARY:Jane Hirshfield reads from her new volume of poetry Ledger
DESCRIPTION:Jane Hirshfield reads from her new volume of poetry Ledger\, a book of personal\, ecological\, and political reckoning from the internationally renowned poet named “among the modern masters” (Washington Post). \n\n\n\n\nFrom one of our most celebrated contemporary poets–long-listed for the National Book Award and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and England’s T.S. Eliot Prize–comes Jane Hirshfield’s Ledger\, her most important work yet. From its already much-quoted opening lines of despair and defiance (“Let them not say: we did not see it. / We saw.”)\, Hirshfield’s poems inscribe a registry\, both personal and communal\, of our present-day predicaments\, and call us to action. They summon our responsibility to sustain one another and the earth while pondering\, acutely and tenderly\, the crises of refugees\, justice\, and climate. They consider “the minimum mass for a whale\, for a language\, an ice cap\,” recognize the intimacy of interconnection (“lichens\, burdocks\, mycelial mats between trees– / forgive this hubris”)\, and apply the lever of questions (“How came separation to chisel\, / to cherish\, to chafe?”) by which we might begin to find a way forward. Finally\, it is the human spirit and words themselves–loyal instruments of recognition\, humility\, and praise–that triumph in this stunning accounting by an essential poet. \nJane Hirshfield is the author of nine books of poetry\, including Ledger; The Beauty; Come\, Thief; and Given Sugar\, Given Salt. She is also the author of two now-classic collections of essays\, Nine Gates and Ten Windows\, and has edited and co-translated four books of world poets from the past. Her books have received the Poetry Center Book Award\, the California Book Award\, and the Donald Hall-Jane Kenyon Prize in American Poetry. Hirshfield has received fellowships from the Guggenheim and Rockefeller foundations\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the Academy of American Poets\, and presents her work at literary and interdisciplinary events worldwide. Her poems appear in The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, The New York Review of Books\, The Times Literary Supplement\, The Washington Post\, The New York Times\, New Republic\, Harper’s\, and Poetry\, and have been selected for ten editions of The Best American Poetry. A resident of Northern California\, she is a 2019 elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a former chancellor of the Academy of American Poets.

SUMMARY:Bonnie Tsui presents Why We Swim
DESCRIPTION:Bonnie Tsui presents Why We Swim\, “a beautifully written love letter to water and a fascinating story” (Rebecca Skloot).\n\n\n\n\nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of Why We Swim by speaking to a bookseller or clicking on the cover below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHumans\, unlike other animals that are drawn to water\, are not natural-born swimmers. We must be taught. Our evolutionary ancestors learned for survival; now in the twenty-first century we swim in freezing Arctic waters and piranha-infested rivers to test our limits. Swimming is an introspective and silent sport in a chaotic and noisy age; it’s therapeutic for both the mind and body; and it’s an adventurous way to get from point A to point B. It’s also one route to that elusive\, ecstatic state of flow. These reasons\, among many others\, make swimming one of the most popular activities in the world. Why We Swim is propelled by stories of Olympic champions\, a Baghdad swim club that meets in Saddam Hussein’s palace pool\, modern-day Japanese samurai swimmers\, and even an Icelandic fisherman who improbably survives a wintry six-hour swim after a shipwreck. New York Times contributor Bonnie Tsui\, a swimmer herself\, dives into the deep\, from the San Francisco Bay to the South China Sea\, investigating what about water–despite its dangers–seduces us and why we come back to it again and again. \nBonnie Tsui lives\, swims\, and surfs in the Bay Area. A longtime contributor to the New York Times and California Sunday Magazine\, she has been the recipient of the Jane Rainie Opel Young Alumna Award from Harvard University\, the Lowell Thomas Gold Award\, and a National Press Foundation Fellowship. Her last book\, American Chinatown\, won the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature and was a San Francisco Chronicle bestseller and Best of 2009 Notable Bay Area Books selection.

SUMMARY:Great Composers: In Search of Haydn
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, Apr 15 1 & 7pm\n\nWed\, May 6 4pm \nTo Purchase Tickets Click HERE \n“Joyous\, thrilling\, informative\, accessible!” – Empire \n“An ideal introduction to one of the greatest composers of his time!” – BBC Music Magazine \n“Bracing\, refreshing…simply very good indeed!” – Guardian \nPhil Grabsky’s biographical account of Haydn’s life is a visual and aural extravaganza\, including breath-taking performances by some of the world’s most celebrated musicians. \nBy speaking to some of the greatest exponents of Haydn’s music\, this film redresses the balance and sheds light on the master and his work. Haydn’s life spanned from the end of the Baroque period to Napoleon’s invasion of Vienna\, outliving his younger friend Mozart. He was one of the most prolific composers\, producing more than 100 symphonies\, 64 quartets\, 16 extant operas\, 51 piano sonatas and the oratorios ‘The Creation’ and ‘The Seasons’. \nThrough intimate and revealing interviews with experts and detailed extracts from Haydn’s personal recollections\, the audience gains tremendous insight not only into Haydn’s music but an appreciation of the artist himself. \nThe emphasis of the film\, as with all the ‘In Search Of’ films\, is on the performance – and interpretation – of the works of Haydn\, the composer both Mozart and Beethoven looked up to.

SUMMARY:EXHIBITION On Screen 2019/20 Season: Frida Kahlo
DESCRIPTION:Wed\, July 15 1 & 7pm\n\nWed\, July 29 4pm \nTo Purchase Tickets Click HERE \nA highly researched and visually spectacular feature-length film on this 21st-century female icon! \nThis highly engaging film takes us on a journey through the life of one of the most prevalent female icons: Frida Kahlo. She was a prolific self-portraitist\, using the canvas as a mirror through all stages of her turbulent and\, at times\, tragic life. Guided with interview\, commentary and Frida’s own words\, EXHIBITION ON SCREEN uncovers that this\, however\, was not a life defined by tragedy. \nFeaturing key exhibitions and interviews with world-renowned Kahlo curators\, EXHIBITION ON SCREEN explores the extraordinary symbolism and themes in these personal canvases to seek a deeper understanding of the real Frida Kahlo. \nUsing cinema to take an up-close and intimate look at her works we examine how great an artist she can be considered. Displaying a treasure trove of colour and a feast of vibrancy on screen\, this personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works and highlights the source of her feverish creativity\, her resilience and her unmatched lust for life\, men\, women\, politics and her cultural heritage. \nWe might think we already know Frida Kahlo – the image of floral crowns\, big brows and folk style clothing have made her a muse to generations – but what lies beneath the surface of this intensely passionate woman?

DESCRIPTION:Next Friday\, 8/28.\n7:00 PM\, PST. \nBecause: there’s zero chance you have a cooler Friday night planned! Because: these are 2-4 of the most exciting bottles you’ll try in 2020. (If not\, please tell us what beat these – for reals!) And because: the indefatigable\, irrepressible Beka Gotsadze himself will be waking up at the crack of Georgian dawn… just to meet with you! \n  \n\nDon’t be late\, Californians. It’s 5:58 AM where I am. \nWanna get on that Midnight Train (er\, 7PM Zoom?) to Georgia with us? We’ve assembled the quintessential 2-pack of his wines (his skin-contact\, clay pot-aged white/orange wine\, and his millennia-deep Saperavi) for just $60… and you’ll get a Zoom invite to hang with Beka when you buy the pack! \nWhat? You wanna go deeper? \n\nA thing worth getting lost in \nWe don’t blame you! We couldn’t resist either\, and decided we had to have the carnelian-hued Tavkveri… and the first ever Georgian ale imported to California\, as well! Buy the full 4-pack (with a discount) and you’ll get a Zoom invite\, too!
