Blue Velvet and Eraserhead

Friday, March 27, 8 p.m.

A David Lynch double-feature: Eraserhead and Blue Velvet.
Two cult classics together in one swell theatre. The fascinating Mr. Lynch (pre-Twin Peaks fame) demonstrates why he's such a compelling film-maker with these two films. Exotic, beautiful, and disturbing on so many levels, these films exhibit the hallmarks of the serious auteur. Don't miss them.
Blue Velvet & Eraserhead, 3/27

Admission: $7.50 adult, $6.50 student. Doors open at 7 p.m. all shows at 8 p.m.

Trio Mediæval

Saturday, March 28, 8 p.m.

The mesmerizing voices of Oslo's Trio Mediæval have captivated audiences around the world with a diverse polyphonic repertoire that features medieval music from England and France, contemporary works written for the ensemble, and traditional Norwegian ballads and songs. "Singing doesn't get more unnervingly beautiful," wrote Joshua Kosman of the San Francisco Chronicle, who declared their San Francisco debut "among the musical highlights of the year." He added, "To hear the group's note-perfect counterpoint - as pristine and inviting as clean, white linens - is to be astonished at what the human voice is capable of." I would echo that sentiment. Describing what it feels like to listen to this group is extremely difficult. These words do not do justice to their abilities. Listen as they talk with Robert Siegel of NPR and perform selections from their latest CD.
