Tales of a Charlie Brown Christmas (Halifax Jazz Festival)

Category: Arts and Entertainment
Dates: December 7, 2014 - December 7, 2014

Join us this holiday season for Tales of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Experience the magic of this timeless classic, featuring local jazz legend and original member of the Vince Guaraldi Trio, Jerry Granelli.Tales of A Charlie Brown Christmas, a Halifax Jazz Festival fundraiser for music education, takes place at 2 PM and 8 PM Sunday, December 7. For more information about the 2 PM child-friendly matinee visit here.

Experience the magic of the holiday season with timeless music that will warm your heart. Back by popular demand, the Halifax Jazz Festival presents Tales of A Charlie Brown Christmas featuring local jazz legend Jerry Granelli, an original and only surviving member of the Vince Guaraldi Trio. This special show will create memories that will last forever. One family who watched the production's premiere in 2013 told us "it felt like Jerry wrapped his long arms around everyone and reminded us of what counts". Relive this classic and experience the music with the musician who was a part of its inception.

The Vince Guaraldi Trio scored and performed the original recording of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Although the program was criticized before going to air, it was an instant success. Prior to its debut, producers were worried it was too religious, and the soundtrack which featured Guaraldi Trio's contemporary jazz was too cutting edge for children's programming. Since the television special's debut in 1965, the music has gone on to become an iconic soundtrack for the holiday season.

Granelli is no stranger to the Halifax Jazz Festival audiences, and is one of three parts of the Jerry Granelli Trio which also includes Calgary's Simon Fisk on bass and Vancouver's Chris Gestrin on piano. For this special performance, the Jerry Granelli Trio is joined by HRM's Vivace Children's Choir, conducted by Krista Vincent.

Tales of A Charlie Brown Christmas is the Halifax Jazz Festival's 11th annual fundraiser for music education. The Halifax Jazz Festival extends a warm welcome to families to share in the festivities. During the matinee performance one child (12 and under) may accompany an adult for free.

Personnel: Jerry Granelli Trio (Jerry Granelli, Chris Gestrin, Simon Fisk), Vivace Children's Choir

IM Public Lecture: Dr. Kevin Absillis (Dalhousie University)

Category:
Dates: November 4, 2014 - November 4, 2014

It is remarkable that all major early modern utopias – from Thomas More’s Utopia (1516), to Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis (1624) and Tommaso Campanella’s The City of the Sun (1623) – explicitly pay tribute to the invention of the printing press. At least as remarkable is the fact that in 20th century dystopic fiction the destruction of books and the decline of the printing press are a crucial part of the nightmare they represent. One immediately thinks of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four (1948), Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 (1953) and, perhaps, of E.M. Forster’s short story ‘The Machine Stops’ (1909). This very motive is also taken up in a fair number of movies, e.g. Rollerball (1975, dir. N. Jewison), Minority Report (2002, dir. S. Spielberg), Equilibrium (2002, dir. K. Wimmer), V for Vendetta (2006, dir. J. McTeigh), The Book of Eli (2010, dir. Hughes Brothers). In my talk I will investigate this topical relationship between the printing press/books! and utopian fiction in order to assess a by no means purely ‘fictitious’ fear that our so-called Gutenberg Galaxy is currently coming to an end.

The performance will showcase period instruments alongside the singers and will put the architectural features and hidden spaces of All Saints Cathedral to full use. will also feature music for the season by Renaissance composers di Lasso and Palestrina, and 20th-century composers Elgar, Pärt, and Halley himself.

The Pointer Sisters (Casino Nova Scotia)

Category: Live Music
Dates: October 25, 2014 - October 25, 2014

Tickets:Guest Services & Ticket Atlantic
Price:General Admission: $48.91 (plus hst & service charges)

Casino Nova Scotia is excited to announce Grammy Award winning group, The Pointer Sisters, live in the Schooner Showroom October 25!

The Pointer Sisters were as chameleonic as David Bowie, if not more so. The sibling group backed Grace Slick and Boz Scaggs, made stops at Sesame Street and the Grand Ole Opry, won a country Grammy, and appeared in the movie Car Wash, all before scoring four consecutive Top Ten Billboard Hot 100 hits in the mid-‘80s. From their early ‘70s releases on Blue Thumb through their ‘80s commercial run on Planet and RCA, the Pointers moved through boogie-woogie, bebop, blues, country, funk, disco, soft rock, electro-pop, hard rock, and several other subgenres as if they were all second nature. The sisters covered Willie Dixon, were covered by Elvis Presley, and released 15 Top 40 Hot 100 singles while sustaining a steady presence on the R&B, club, and adult contemporary charts.
The Pointer Sisters grew up listening to and singing gospel music. The sisters’ parents were deeply spiritual with their father, Reverend Elton Pointer, and their mother being active in their local church. The sisters were discouraged by their parents from listening to rock and roll and the blues. Singing on a regular basis at church, the sisters were comfortable performing from an early age. June was the first sister to venture outside of the norm musically and introduced her older sisters to Elvis Presley. After graduating high school, Ruth and Anita were already married with children, Bonnie and June set their sights on a career in show business.

After the success of their debut album, the sisters followed-up with their second offering, “That’s a Plenty,” which spawned the song “Fairytale,” earning the sisters an invite to perform at Grand Ole Opry, and a Grammy Award for ‘Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal’ in 1975. The sisters had arrived, their fan base swelled overnight and they were a sensation. Their song would later be covered by Elvis Presley. Their fourth album, “Steppin’“ arrived in 1975 and produced another Grammy nominated single, “How Long (Betcha’ Got a Chick on the Side).” By 1977, both June and Bonnie had left the group, and Ruth and Anita slowed down their schedules to accommodate their growing families. June returned to the fold in 1978 as the sisters released “Energy.”

1980 saw the sisters release the massive hit single, “He’s So Shy,” which peaked at #3 on the Billboard Charts. In 1983, The Pointer Sisters released what became their biggest-selling album ever with “Break Out.” The sisters took advantage of the recently launched MTV to reach out and expose their music to new audiences. A slew of hit singles, peaking in the top ten followed throughout the 1980s, with a Grammy Award for ‘Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal’ for their hit single “Jump (For My Love),” and another Grammy for ‘Best Vocal Arrangement for Two or More Voices’ for the single “Automatic.” Towards the end of the 1980s the sisters switched over to Motown Records. The 1990s saw the sisters return to a more jazz orientated sound in their music. By 2002 Issa Pointer, Ruth’s daughter began performing with the Pointer Sisters in the place of June.

Show starts at 8:00pm, October 25, 2014

Tickets: $48.91 General Admission, HST and service charges apply

Tickets available by phone at the Ticket Atlantic Box Office, (902) 451-1221; in person at all participating Superstores and Casino Nova Scotia; or on-line at www.ticketatlantic.com

Dates: October 16, 2014 - October 16, 2014

The Canadian Mental Health Association, Halifax-Dartmouth Branch, invites all artists to participate in the 16th Annual Mosaic for Mental Health. This exhibition consists of 6”x6” individual works of art. The Annual Mosaic for Mental Health has become a powerful expression of artists who care about mental health and mental illness.

CMHA promotes the mental health of all and supports the resilience and recovery of people experiencing mental illness. Proceeds from the Mosaic for Mental Health support the Social Programs of CMHA Halifax-Dartmouth Branch: Among Friends Social Club, Sharing & Caring Social Club and Building Bridges.

All media are welcome (painting, ceramics, drawing, textiles, photography, collage, prints, 3-D, etc.). However, artists are to create all work (with the exception of ceramic, sculpture or textiles) on/or attached to 6”x6” tiles, which are available from CMHA Halifax-Dartmouth Branch. Mosaic Tiles are to be displayed on wall holders; therefore, the bottom edge of the work cannot exceed 1/2” in
depth.

This year the exhibition will begin on Thursday, October 16th, 2014 from 7-9 pm, with a preview between 6-7 pm, until Sunday, November 2nd, 2014 at the Craig Gallery, Alderney Landing, Dartmouth, NS.

The submission deadline to be included in our Annual Mosaic Poster is Monday, September 22nd, 2014.
Every effort will be made to have one tile from each artist (submitted by September 22nd) on the poster. The size of the tile on the poster will depend on the number of individual artists. Final submission deadline for tiles is Wednesday, October 8th, 2014. If you cannot submit your tiles by this deadline, please give our office a call (455-5445) to make other arrangements.

All submissions will become the property of CMHA, Halifax-Dartmouth Branch and will be available for sale at $25.00 each. Artists wishing to have their business cards available at the gallery during the Art Sale and Exhibition should submit them to us along with your artwork.

For further information, please call 455-5445 or e-mail cmhahal@ns.aliantzinc.ca.

Pick up or drop off tiles until June 30 at:
CMHA HALIFAX–DARTMOUTH BRANCH
Bloomfield Centre room 216 or the Bloomfield Front Desk
2786 Agricola St., Halifax, N.S., B3K 4E1
