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 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. |

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. |
