MUSIC

Jackie Venson – October 27

Jackie Venson’s performances revisit what makes music so powerful: emotion and passion. Compared to the likes of Amy Winehouse, Joss Stone and Gary Clark, Jr., she he thrives without the flash, instead favoring a clean blend of rock, R&B, genuine soul and meaningful connection with her audience. Music is not only what Venson does – it’s who she is. Watch Venson here. Saturday, October 27. 7:30 PM. Chautauqua Community House. Buy tickets online.

FILMS

Happening – November 9

Filmmaker James Redford embarks on a colorful journey into the dawn of the clean energy era as it creates jobs, turns profits and makes communities healthier across the United States. Unlikely entrepreneurs in communities from Texas to New York reveal pioneering clean energy solutions while James’ discovery of how clean energy works, and what it means at a personal level, becomes the audiences’ discovery too. Reaching well beyond a great story of technology and innovation, “Happening” explores issues of human resilience, social justice, embracing the future and finding hope for our survival. Carly Cipolla, membership services director of the American Solar Energy Society, will introduce the film and lead a post-screening discussion. Watch the official trailer here.
