Laura Connelly Director of Presentations
  • Such Sweet Thunder — Duke Ellington; In Rainbows — Radiohead

  • 50 Cent Trombone (trombone player from the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra)

  • A Star is Born (1954; James Mason, Judy Garland)
    An amazing and very intense film, especially when you know what was going on in Judy Garland's life at the time (revealed on DVD)
