Steven Greenman, a virtuoso klezmer violinist, opens the main-stage show at 7 p.m., accompanied by Mark Freiman on piano. Greenman has played throughout the United States, as well as in Spain, Poland, Germany and Canada. Lori Cahan-Simon, a Yiddish-song researcher and singer of some stature, will follow Greenman. Accordion player Walt Mahovlich and Greenman, who’ll play violin, will back her. Yiddishe Cup will play the second half of the show. It’s even a possibility that that all the musicians will gather for an encore. Admission is free. (Niesel, photo via Yiddishe Cup Facebook page)
Sunday, June 28: An Enveloping Experience – If you experienced Ragnar Kjartansson’s The Visitors at MOCA Cleveland last season, you know firsthand the power of this Icelandic artists’ work. If you missed it, you’re in luck. Although The Visitors left months ago, the Cleveland Museum of Art has arranged to host a new work by Kjartansson. Opening this Sunday, Jun. 28, his “Song” features a single camera rotating around Kjartansson’s three nieces for a continuous six hours while they repeated the refrain of gentle folk song by Allen Ginsberg. The setting of the video is the Carnegie Museum of Art’s Hall of Sculpture, commissioned in 1900 by Andrew Carnegie. Inspired by his surroundings, Kjartansson cast his nieces as classical muses. The walls of the CMA’s Kelvin and Eleanor Smith Foundation Exhibition Hall will be draped in the same royal blue satin featured in the video, amplifying this enveloping experience. Ragnar Kjartansson: Song runs through Sunday, Aug. 16 during the CMA’s regular business hours. (Usmani, photo via Wikipedia)
Sunday, June 28: Ghost Story – Ghost in the Shell, a 1995 anime science fiction film, follows a cyborg policewoman and her partner as they try to catch a powerful hacker named the Puppet Master. It takes place in the year 2029 and society has become so intensely information orientated that hacking and cybercrime is a widespread problem. In order to try and solve this network hacking, Section 9 is formed, which contains cyborgs that have the ability to access any network on earth. The cyborg policewoman Major Motoko Kusanagi leads a law enforcement team using triangulation to seek out the film’s hacker and main antagonist, the Puppet Master. This intense, complex cyber chase proves to be extremely difficult and to make matters worse, the Puppet Master leaves a series of decoys, dead ends, and little to no evidence for Section 9 to catch him. It shows at 7:30 tonight at the Cedar Lee Theater. Tickets: $6. (Manno, photo via screenshot from IMDB)
