Silent Film Evening:
The Mollycoddle (1920)
Date: Saturday, March 23
Time: 7:30 PM, doors open at 7:00 PM
Venue: Louisville Center For the Arts, 801 Grant Avenue
Cost: $5
Before his mega-hit The Mark of Zorro, Douglas Fairbanks had a solid career as an athletic comedian. In The Mollycoddle, Doug plays the grandson of a wild-west sheriff, but -- being raised in Europe -- he grows up to be a sad, weak "mollycoddle" instead of a real American. Invited to visit Arizona, he runs afoul of diamond-smuggler Wallace Beery, who has enslaved Hopi Indians at a secret diamond mine. It's up to Doug to get in touch with his inner cowboy, defeat the villain, and save the Hopi, as well as the beautiful Ruth Renick, in an action-packed finale. This film is notable as the directorial debut of Victor Fleming, who later directed The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind. Fairbanks was fascinated by American Indian culture and the western landscape. The outdoor adventure sequences filmed in Arizona's Painted Desert are quite beautiful, and the film's attitude towards the Hopi is refreshingly respectful for 1920, if occasionally patronizing by modern standards.

Louisville World Concert Series Presents:
Sevdah and Beyond
An Evening of World Music from Bosnia and Beyond
Date: Friday, March 15
Time: 7:30 PM, doors open at 7:00 PM
Venue: Louisville Center For the Arts, 801 Grant Avenue
Cost: Adults $12; Students & Seniors $10; Youth $8
Join us for an unforgettable musical journey through Balkan’s musical traditions, with the Bosnian sevdah singer Azra and her band of diverse musicians. This special evening will feature music from Bosnia, Russia, Macedonia, and the Balkins. Sevdah, as a traditional musical form, is an expression of the soul. Often likened to Portuguese Fado and American Blues, Sevdah is an institution in Bosnia
Azra says "In my life, it was my grandmother, my uncles, and my father who brought this music, with its powerful storylines, into my consciousness. Stories were told through song – powerful stories of passion, love and longing. There is a mystical quality to this highly ornamented music, such that every breath is appreciated, every note is cherished. People known and unknown stop to listen – as the singer takes them to a place of contemplative peace, a place where each sound and each moment of silence reflects the universe’s perfection and unity."
We hope to see you there!
Azra, vocals
Emma Shubin, flute
Edin Sadikovic, accordion
Ben Cohen, piano and bass
Brett Bowen, percussion
