SUMMARY:Tire Tracks
DESCRIPTION:For the 20th Anniversary of Tire Tracks\, we will show this short documentary on the big screen at the Opera House. Join us for this free event to view this 30-minute film that explores the practice of “burning rubber” with a vehicle to make clouds of smoke\, piercing squeals\, and bold black marks on the road. Considered a nuisance to some and a way of life for others all across rural America\, it is a practice we still see along our island roads. \nFilmed in Deer Isle\, off the Downeast coast of Maine with the help and collaboration of the film’s subjects\, Tire Tracks offers an insider’s view of this very American pastime. \nThis event will include a talkback with the film’s creator and director\, John Steed. Copies of the Tire Tracks DVD will be available in the lobby. \nAfter the event\, we invite all to make their way to Stonecutters for karaoke night at 8pm.

SUMMARY:Danny Fisher-Lochhead Large Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:The Danny Fisher-Lochhead Large Ensemble was born in Brooklyn\, NY in 2013 with a much different cast of characters\, except for the stalwart Ross Gallagher who has held it down in every version of this band. When Danny moved to Downeast Maine in 2015 seeking a new logic to his life and musical pursuits\, he started to slowly lay the groundwork and musical will to re-assemble this project. In 2023 this version of the group came into being\, and in 2025 they released their album World of Difference on Fishkill Records. This band is made up of some of the most exciting improvising musicians in the state\, and the music they make together\, while it bears the markings of its roots in the Jazz tradition\, is distinctly on its own terrain. The result is alive\, richly textured\, rhythmically grounded and complex\, ecstatic\, and deeply connected to the body and the emotions. No previous expertise required.

SUMMARY:The Last Navigator with Steve Thomas
DESCRIPTION:This free lecture\, richly illustrated with Steve’s photographs\, will take us to a remote island in Micronesia into a world of ocean navigation largely unknown to the West; a world in which the traditional navigator’s only directional tools are the stars\, the ocean swells and the flight paths of birds. \nIn 1983 and 1984 Steve Thomas spent eleven months on Satawal Island and in the Western Carolines as an apprentice to Mau Piailug\, then one of the last paliuw\, captains fully initiated in the Talk of Navigation\, the closely guarded\, ancient practices around reading the cosmos and the seas. \nHe chronicled his experiences and the navigational techniques in the book The Last Navigator\, first published in 1987\, and a documentary film of the same title for PBS in 1988. Now some forty years on he has updated the stories with a new generation of Satawalese islanders in the revised and fully illustrated edition of The Last Navigator.

SUMMARY:Live! for $5: Blanc sur Blanc
DESCRIPTION:A whimsical and poetic journey into the world of a clown\, Blanc sur Blanc follows performer Iman Lizarazu with the comical unraveling of a simple thread from her pants. What begins as a minor inconvenience soon reveals a web of interconnected challenges. As she faces a series of mishaps\, the clown discovers that solving problems is never as straightforward as it seems—but always with a touch of humor and creativity. This charming performance is a lighthearted exploration of how the little things in life can spiral into larger\, often absurd\, dilemmas. Full of physical comedy and heart\, Blanc sur Blanc reminds us that in life\, all strings are attached…or perhaps\, no strings at all! A perfect blend of fun and inspiration for audiences of all ages.

SUMMARY:DownEast New Music: Thanksong
DESCRIPTION:DownEast New Music presents Thanksong\, an evening of new chamber music for soprano\, string quartet\, double bass\, and piano. Built around Cassandra Miller’s intimate and magnetic Thanksong for soprano and string quartet\, this program looks inwards and examines how even small gestures can have major emotional impact. Whether through the sensuous intimacy of Amy Beth Kirsten’s yes I said yes I will Yes\, or the obscured melodrama of Tomás Gueglio’s Murlmenszenen\, this will be an evening of novel and unforgettable music. \nFor Thanksong\, DownEast New Music’s Co-Artistic directors Clare Monfredo (cello)\, Edward Kass (double bass)\, and Conrad Winslow (piano) are joined by returning violinists Robert Anemone and Lilit Hartunian\, Maine’s own Kal Sugatski (viola)\, and award-winning international opera singer Nina Guo.

SUMMARY:Not Strictly Classical
DESCRIPTION:Known for his energetic\, no-holds-barred style and called “the classical music equivalent of an extreme sports athlete” (The Record)\, contemporary classical pianist Danny Holt explores the intersection of classical music with rock\, pop\, and jazz in his “Not Strictly Classical” program. Los Angeles based composer Mike Garson (known for his work with David Bowie\, Nine Inch Nails\, and others) fuses his classical and jazz roots in eclectic works that are uniquely his own\, defying traditional genre categories; New York based jazz/pop phenom Jon Batiste reimagines Chopin through his own lens; and Japanese composer Karen Tanaka’s “Techno Etudes” are a playful evocation of electronic music. Stunningly beautiful works by French jazz/hip-hop pianist Sofiane Pamart and others round out the program\, including pieces from beloved film scores such as “Amelie”\, “The Piano”\, and “Interstellar”.
