Noct.” FRIDAY, JUNE 21st - 7:30pm Complete darkness...an inky black canvas for a truly amazing musical performance. The 3rd String Quartet by Georg Friedrich Haas has quickly taken its place as a modern masterpiece, a tour de force of spectral music that is performed in absolute darkness. Darkness, however, is not present in this piece merely as an absence of light, but becomes the key theme of the work, with the musicians neither seeing their music nor their fellow performers, and seated as far apart from one another as possible. The work is subtitled In iij. Noct., a reference to the Roman Catholic Tenebrae service for Holy Week. Donʼt miss this bold event in the Liberty Theatre! PLEASE NOTE: THE HALL WILL BE COMPLETELY DARK FOR THIS PERFORMANCE. Purchase Tickets: libertyastoria.org The Liberty Theater Box Office is open Wednesday - Saturday from 2PM until 5:30PM and 2 hours prior to curtain. 1203 Commercial St, Astoria, OR, 97103 // 503-325-5922 Shoppers at a previous book sale at the Manzanita Library. Catch two Scorcese films at Pioneer Presbyterian WARRENTON — See “the collision of cultures and beliefs’ in two Martin Scorcese films at Pioneer Presbyterian, 33324 Patriot Lane, near Camp Rilea. ”Kundun” 7 p.m. Friday, May 17 “As its imagery becomes more surreal and mystically abstract, Mr. Glass’s ethe- real electronic score, which suggests a Himalayan music of the spheres, gathers force and energy and the music and pictures achieve a sub- lime synergy.” — Roger Ebert ”Silence” 4 p.m. Sunday, May 19 “A monumental work, and a punishing one. It puts you through hell with no promise of enlightenment, “Kundun” “Silence” only a set of questions and propositions, sensations and experiences ... This is not the sort of film you ‘like’ or ‘don’t like.’ It’s a film that you experience and then live with.” — Matt Zoller $5 per film or $8 for both. Following the films, Seth Tichenor of Clatsop Com- munity College, Dwight Caswell and Doug Rich will hold a discussion.
