Celebrating Five Seasons in the Sonoran Desert

Sunday, May 19, 2013, 3:00 pm

Countering the notion that deserts are little more than a void to be filled, DESERT DREAMS immerses viewers in a world pulsing with life and beauty year-round. This multimedia tapestry showcases 182 species of Sonoran Desert plants and animals in a seasonal chronology. HD video content and time-lapse imagery captured over four years blends with stills from the filmmaker's photographic archive compiled over three decades. Using no voice-over, DESERT DREAMS combines natural sounds with a kaleidoscope of flute and percussion vignettes by Gary Stroutsos.

David Grisman Bluegrass Experience

Saturday, June 8, 2013, 7:30 pm

For nearly half a century, mandolinist / composer / bandleader / producer David Grisman has been a guiding force in the evolving world of acoustic music. His musical range is wide and deep - embracing many styles, genres and traditions.

An acoustic pioneer and innovator, David forged a unique personal artistic path, skillfully combining elements of the great American music/art forms - jazz and bluegrass with many international flavors and sensibilities to create his own distinctive idiom - "Dawg" music (the nickname given him by Jerry Garcia.) In doing so, he's inspired new generations of acoustic string musicians, while creating his own niche in contemporary music.

ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE FOR BEST MUSIC, BEST PICTURE, AND BEST WRITING Written and Directed by Phil Alden Robinson Starring Kevin Costner, James Earl Jones, and Ray Liotta Based on the novel Shoeless Joe by W.P. Kinsella

IF YOU BELIEVE THE IMPOSSIBLE, THE INCREDIBLE CAN COME TRUE.

Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella hears a voice in his cornfield tell him, "If you build it, he will come." He interprets this message as an instruction to build a baseball field on his farm, upon which appear the ghosts of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the other seven Chicago White Sox players banned from the game for throwing the 1919 World Series. When the voices continue, Ray seeks out a reclusive author to help him understand the meaning of the messages and the purpose for his field. ~ Scott Renshaw
