SUMMARY:The Adventures of Prince Achmed Live Scored by Gordon Grdina & Hamin Honari
DESCRIPTION:A handsome prince with a flying horse befriends a witch\, meets Aladdin\, and battles demons to win a princess’ heart.

To mark its centenary\, this afternoon the Hamin Honari/Gordon Grdina Duo will improvise an entirely new soundtrack. \n\nGet Tickets\n\nHonari/Grdina’s music is an exploration of the interplay between improvisation and structure\, with a focus on bridging the rich traditions of Persian classical music and Arabic melodies with contemporary jazz. This dynamic duo has performed extensively\, presenting their intricate and emotive compositions to audiences across North America. The fluid interaction between Grdina’s oud and guitar with Honari’s mastery of percussion results in performances that are both technically impressive and deeply moving. \nHamin Honari – Persian and Contemporary Percussion\nGordon Grdina – Oud\, Guitar\, Effects \nShowtimes at 2pm and 7:30pm (65 min runtime) \nThe matinee show will be introduced by Alla Gadassik\, media scholar and animation curator \nBeautiful and innovative — age only adds to its brilliance and charm. \nDavid Parkinson\, Empire \nA rapturous animated kaleidoscope with a more abstracted visage of the 1001 Arabians Nights tale than you could dream. \nWesley Morris\, San Francisco Examiner \nA masterpiece. \nJean Renoir \n  \nCo-Presented with: \n

SUMMARY:Tatsuya Nakatani at Moberly Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Legendary percussionist plays rare Vancouver show\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\nTatsuya Nakatani is an avant-garde percussionist\, composer\, and artist of sound. \nActive internationally since the 1990s\, Nakatani has released over 80 recordings and tours extensively\, performing over 150 concerts a year. His primary focus is his solo work and his large ensemble project\, the Nakatani Gong Orchestra. He teaches master classes and lectures at universities and music conservatories around the world. Originally from Japan\, he makes his home in the desert town of Truth or Consequences\, New Mexico. With his activity in new music\, improvisation\, and experimental music\, Nakatani has a long history of collaboration.Nakatani’s distinctive music centered around his adapted bowed gong\, supported by an array of drums\, cymbals\, and singing bowls. In consort with his personally hand-carved Kobo Bows\, he has spent decades refining and developing his sound as an arrangement of formations of vibrations\, incorporated in shimmering layers of silence and texture. Within this contemporary work\, one can still recognize the dramatic pacing\, formal elegance and space (ma) felt in traditional Japanese music. \nThis performance is presented by Infidels Jazz \nTatsuya Nakatani \nMoberly Arts Centre \n7646 Prince Albert Street \nMarch 01\, 2026 \n$25 in advance\, $35 at the door. \nDoors 730PM \nShow 800PM
