See PAUL GOODMAN CHANGED MY LIFE in December only!
|
"There has not been such a convincing, genuine, singular voice in our language since D. H. Lawrence. Paul Goodman's voice touched everything he wrote about with intensity, interest, and his own terribly appealing sureness and awkwardness." -Susan Sontag
DECEMBER 9 - 22
DOWNTOWN INDEPENDENT
251 South Main St, Los Angeles, CAUsing archival multimedia-selections from Goodman's poetry (read by Garrison Keillor and Edmund White); quotes from Susan Sontag, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Noam Chomsky; plentiful footage of Goodman himself; plus interviews with his family and peers, activists-director/producer Jonathan Lee and producer/editor Kimberly Reed (Prodigal Sons) have woven together a rich portrait of an intellectual heavyweight.

Catch THE KLEZMATICS in concert!
|
Monday, December 19, 2011, 8:00pm at Walt Disney Concert Hall Get ready for Chanukah with the invigorating sounds of the Grammy-winning klezmer superstars. Steeped in Eastern European Jewish traditions and spirituality, their ecstatic music will have you dancing in the aisles. Presented by LA Phil. For tickets and information, visit LAPhil.com  "The Klezmatics' powerfully diverse collaborative repertoire stands as a testament to their ability to broaden the definition of the term world music. They radically dispel the notion of pigeonholing music. The Klezmatics have made a career out of breaking down musical barriers, fully embracing klezmer and their Jewishness, while using these same essential spiritual, historical, and cultural foundations as a springboard to ambitious new musical hybrids." - LAPhil.com
