| If you are looking for something new and different to do this weekend, we have just the right thing for you! If you haven't ever been or if you have and it's been a while...the Jacob Burns Film Center is the place to be this weekend.
This Friday, check out the opening night of an AMAZING documentary, Note By Note: The Making of Steinway L1037. I know, it may not sound like a thriller, but I have to tell you, the first time I saw it, I was spellbound. An amazing journey to learn about a craft you can't imagine-- the time, the details, and the craftsmanship are beyond impressive.

Note By Note
"From Bach to Glass: Classical Music on Film"
Jacob Burns Film Center, Opening Night, Friday, October 10th at 7:00. Note By Note: The Making of Steinway L1037. Ben Niles. 2007. 81 m. US. Argot Pictures.
Chronicling the meticulous construction of a single Steinway concert grand piano (#L1037), this new film is both surprising and joyful. A diverse collection of craftsmen, from Haiti and Croatia and Italy and Queens - some are musicians, and others are more interested in the Mets home opener - all play their parts in the creation of the soundboard, strings, keys, hammers, and the eleven thousand other pieces that come together to make up the famed Steinway. A glorious reminder of pride in craft and collaboration and of the critical line that separates the world of human work from automation. The film will run at the JBFC through Oct. 14.
Live Performance: Acclaimed concert pianist and Copland House Executive Director Michael Boriskin will play the actual Steinway assembled in the film on our stage after the screening on October 10th. Followed by a conversation with Boriskin and filmmaker Ben Niles.
Tickets: $15 (members), $20 (nonmembers)
