Special Sneak Preview:
Directed by Niels Arden Oplev (2009). Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder and that the killer is a member of his own tightly-knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, ruthless computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. 152 min. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a murder mystery, family saga, love story, and tale of financial intrigue based on the book with the same title, the first in the Millennium-trilogy by Stieg Larsson. The film opens March 19 in New York at Lincoln Plaza Cinemas, Cinema 1, 2, 3rd Avenue, Chelsea Cinemas, and Sunshine Cinema. Other cities opening March 19 include Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, San Francisco, Seattle, and San Diego. Special thanks to Music Box Films. |

NYNDK – The Hunting of the Snark CD Release
Bringing together musicians from New York (NY), Norway (N), and Denmark (DK), transatlantic jazz collective NYNDK returns to the scene with The Hunting of the Snark – an album that sets (mostly) modern 20th century classical composers’ works to post-modern jazz music, including Charles Ives’ The Cage, 1,2,3, and Remembrance, and Edvard Grieg’s Adagio (from Piano Concerto in A Minor). NYNDK brings to the mix a combination of refined Scandinavian cool and aggressive New York heat, spiced with a progressive post-modern sensibility. Presented in conjunction with the Consulate General of Denmark, New York and the Danish Arts Agency’s DaNY Arts. National Museum—Architecture in Oslo. |

Jean Sibelius: A Composer’s Life and the Awakening of Finland Composer Jean Sibelius (1865–1957) came to prominence during Finland’s golden age of the arts. The timing was no coincidence, for Sibelius helped to shape that golden era while in turn being shaped by it. In her talk, Dr. Glenda Dawn Goss who teaches at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki and is a former Professor of Musicology at the University of Georgia, will present this national creative tide in the context of Nordic cultural currents and will discuss the vital importance of the wider Nordic world for the creation of that display. |
