SUMMARY:Pınar Öğrenci: Glück auf in Deutschland (Harvard Art Museum)
DESCRIPTION:Reflect on memory\, labor\, and belonging in this first major U.S. exhibition by Pınar Öğrenci. \nGlück auf in Deutschland marks the first major exhibition in the United States by Berlin-based artist and filmmaker Pınar Öğrenci (b. 1973). The artist’s work invites viewers to question what has been remembered or erased while imagining a future grounded in justice\, equality\, and collective healing and shaped by layered experiences of survival\, resistance\, and resilience. \nThe exhibition includes Öğrenci’s 2024 film Glück auf in Deutschland (Good Luck in Germany)\, which addresses the construction of postwar German identity in the Ruhrgebiet\, a heavily industrialized region known for coal mining and steel production. Five related collages are also on view\, reimagining the bodies of workers and their families within the Ruhr landscape and its architecture. Öğrenci’s use of the phrase Glück auf — a common way that miners wish one another a safe return after their physically grueling and dangerous work underground — resonates with the experiences of immigrant communities in present-day Germany facing right-wing extremism. \nThe photographs in the film and collages were drawn largely from the Ruhr Museum archive in Essen\, Germany\, and include works by artists from the 1950s and ’60s. In her interventions\, Öğrenci reveals how photography helped shape a homogenous\, male-centered identity for both the region and the German nation; she seeks instead to present a more inclusive visual record. Öğrenci’s work is displayed alongside historical photographs from the Busch-Reisinger Museum’s collection. \nCurated by Lynette Roth\, Daimler Curator of the Busch-Reisinger Museum. \nThis exhibition is supported by the Charles Kuhn Endowment Fund in the Busch-Reisinger Museum. Modern and contemporary art programs at the Harvard Art Museums are made possible in part by generous support from the Emily Rauh Pulitzer and Joseph Pulitzer\, Jr.\, Fund for Modern and Contemporary Art.

SUMMARY:Rhinoceros
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Emmy Award Winners Paul Giamatti\, Tatiana Maslany\, and John Turturro \nEverything seems normal one Sunday morning…until it’s not. One by one\, friends and colleagues transform into rhinoceroses\, and Berenger is forced to decide: will he follow the crowd or stand his ground? As resonant as when it premiered in the wake of the Second World War\, Rhinoceros reminds us of the importance of holding on to our humanity amidst mounting pressures to conform. Eugène Ionesco’s landmark play is staged in a new adaptation by A.R.T. based on Derek Prouse’s seminal translation. \nTony Award winner Diane Paulus (“one of the most imaginative forces working in theater\,” Broadway.com) directs her final production at the Loeb Drama Center before the A.R.T.’s move to its new home in Allston\, the Goel Center for Creativity & Performance. \nPerformers are subject to change and understudies may perform at any time\, with a specific announcement made at the time of the performance. No refunds are issued in the event of a change in casting. \n\nOpening Night: 8/21\nASL Interpreted: 9/16 at 7:30PM\nAudio Described: 9/19 at 2PM\nOpen Captioned: 9/19 at 2PM

SUMMARY:The Way We Never Were: The American Professional Photographers Collection (Harvard Art Museum)
DESCRIPTION:How did photography construct cultural memories of postwar America? \nLife in the United States after World War II is often remembered as a time of prosperity\, stability\, and ease. The Way We Never Were examines the role that professional photography played in shaping this familiar image. Photographers working on commission for private clients\, businesses\, and civic organizations produced portraits and promotional images that did more than document everyday life—they staged and refined it\, helping define how Americans saw themselves and their nation. \nDrawn from the Harvard Art Museums’ American Professional Photographers Collection\, this exhibition brings renewed attention to a vast archive assembled in the 1970s by sociologist and curator Barbara P. Norfleet. The archive\, comprising more than 20\,000 photographs from studios active between the late 1930s and the early 1960s across the United States\, depicts weddings\, school events\, corporate gatherings\, and other social rituals—what Norfleet described as a “unique and valuable record of American life.” \nThe exhibition traces how these commissioned photographs helped create a shared visual understanding of mid-century American culture\, pointing not only to what was included\, but also to what was left out of the photographic record. Organized around themes such as the postwar economic boom\, the rise of suburbia\, cultural conformity\, and growing struggles for equal rights\, the photographs in the exhibition reflect broader social tensions around race\, gender\, class\, and belonging. By considering the tools\, techniques\, and commercial priorities that made these idealized images possible\, The Way We Never Were examines how postwar professional photography shaped an enduring vision of the past that continues to inform how it is understood today. \nCurated by Audrey Sands\, Richard L. Menschel Associate Curator of Photography\, and Madison Brown\, John R. and Barbara Robinson Family Curatorial Fellow in Photography\, with Bridget Hinz\, Senior Curatorial Assistant for Special Exhibitions and Publications\, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art\, Harvard Art Museums. \nFunding for the exhibition and related programming was provided by the John R. and Barbara Robinson Family Fund for Photography and the M. Victor Leventritt Lecture Series Endowment Fund. Modern and contemporary art programs at the Harvard Art Museums are made possible in part by generous support from the Emily Rauh Pulitzer and Joseph Pulitzer\, Jr.\, Fund for Modern and Contemporary Art.

SUMMARY:Aldous Harding
DESCRIPTION:An artist of rare calibre\, Aldous Harding does more than sing; she conjures a singular intensity.   \nHer body and face a weapon of theatre\, Harding dances with steeled fervor\, baring her teeth like a Bunraku puppet’s gnashing grin. \nHer debut release with 4AD\, Party (produced with the award-winning John Parish; PJ Harvey\, Sparklehorse) introducesa new pulse to the stark and unpopulated dramatic realm where the likes of Kate Bush and Scott Walker reside. \nIgniting interest with her eponymous debut album released just two years ago\, Aldous Harding quickly became known for her charismatic combination of talent\, tenacity and shrewd wit.  The album drew attention and accolades from some of the most illustrious corners of the music industry\, receiving 4 stars in MOJO and Uncut\, while UK blog The 405 hailed her a “toweringly talented song writer”. \nComprising a formidable clutch of songs\, 2017’s Party sees Harding shape-shift through a variety of roles: chanteuse\, folk singer and balladeer – all executed with her twisted touch of humour\, hubris and quiet horror.  In other words\, she’s having a good time.  Stretching her limbs with playful cunning; every note\, word and arrangement posed with intellect and inventiveness. \nCreated in Parish’s hometown of Bristol\, Party saw Harding depart her New Zealand base in the antipodes for an intensive two-week immersion in the studio.  Articulating her ambitions for Party to Parish was a galvanizing process for Harding\, met with stunning results.  The pair developed a near non-verbal shorthand\, audibly evident in a raft of musical contributions from Parish.  Alongside such special guests as Perfume Genius’ Mike Hadreas (having worked with Parish and toured with Aldous\, it only took asking once)\, there is an exhilarating sense of risk throughout the record as Harding’s muscular wingspan extends.  Teased out with inflections of experimental instrumentation and arrangements; Party is always anchored by Aldous’s intimidating command of her own songs. \nFirst single ‘Horizon’ is a lover’s call to arms\, powerful for its brutal simplicity and rawness of feeling\, love and loathing colliding to devastating effect.  “Aldous Harding repeats the line as a mantra\, as a truth\, as a reality.  It’s as if the gift of life is right here\, with all its beauty and its limitations”\, said NPR. \n‘Imagining My Man’ commands an air of delicacy as Aldous explores the curiosity of a lover’s idiosyncrasies; steering listeners into a state of intense intimacy laced with hyperactive shots\, dirgey saxophone and Harding’s aching voice.  The track is one of two that Mike Hadreas lends his inimitably sultry vocals to\, the other being the intimate Party closer ‘Swell Does The Skull’. \n‘Blend’ sensitively ushers the mood of Harding’s flourishment throughout Party.  Its opening lines a nod to the mood of Harding’s last record; sameness is quickly quashed with an electronic drumbeat and the announcement of AldousvHarding as an artist of stirring ambition and trajectory. \nThe album’s eponymous single ‘Party’ harks to Aldous’ earlier work; delicately pulling at the threads of a seemingly late-night love affair.  Again\, it’s not long until the rug is pulled out\, with a searing chorus – Harding’s electrifying vocal accompanied by a choir of women and waves of percussive bass clarinet – piercing the balloon of expectations around Harding’s new record with effortless vigour. \nRenowned for the captivating state of possession she occupies in live performance\, Aldous Harding has won crowds the world over playing alongside Deerhunter\, Frankie Cosmos and Perfume Genius\, as well as to hoards of eager crowds at SXSW\, Festival Les Indisciplinées\, Rolling Stone Weekender\, Visions Festival\, The Great Escape\, Golden Plains and more.  Aldous’ 2017 touring schedule spans Europe\, the US and the United Kingdom for much of the year\, with Green Man\, End of the Road Festival\, Latitude Festival\, Nelsonville Music Festival and more on the horizon.

New to the job\, she wanders the immaculate grounds sampling its luxuries as members\, including an industrialist and his expatriate niece\, the club president and his pampered wife\, and a slew of Chinese tourists\, engage in a complex dance with the club’s doting and subservient staff. But something is rotting beneath the pristine fairways of the elite resort\, as Isabel discovers when she tries to return a mislaid golf club to its patriarchal director\, Dr. Palanca (Guzman). The deeper she journeys into its most exclusive corners\, the closer she gets to the violent truths of the club\, her native Philippines\, and her own past. – KinoLorber Films \n“A masterwork… Manuel opens new vistas in the future of the cinema.” – Richard Brody\, The New Yorker \n“An invigorating dose of arch formalism in a sea of mainstream sincerity\, this is the kind of movie that asks for the viewer’s attention…the angle of a golf club can evoke suspense\, a piece of fruit on the ground can feel like a tragedy\, and a casual glance can take your breath away.” – Bilge Ebiri\, Vulture

SUMMARY:An Evening with Scott Cairns
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate Scott Cairns’s new poetry collection\, Against Certainty\, with a musical prelude\, reading\, Q&A\, and refreshments. \n\n\n\n\nDoes writing poetry—or offering prayer—first necessitate total understanding? Scott Cairns doesn’t believe so. A mentor to dozens of poets throughout his years as a creative writing professor and director of the Seattle Pacific MFA program\, in addition to an Orthodox Christian and spiritual writer\, Cairns sees his work differently: “the results of my writing to see what I didn’t know to see\, to say what I didn’t know to say.” \nAnd Cairns has much to wrestle with: in the pages of Against Certainty\, he confronts the brutal reality of a cancer diagnosis and treatment\, the inevitability of death for himself and those he loves\, and the complex tapestry of his Eastern Orthodox faith. Intertwined with Cairns’ philosophical reflections are moments of unexpected simplicity: the silken ear of a Labrador\, the Salish Sea\, beeswax candles\, “a nearly eucharistic caffé e panino.” \nIn courageously facing the reality that he “might soon / join the ranks of the departed\,” Cairns buoys his readers up for their own inevitable journeys. \nWith a prelude from harpist Riko Matsuoka. Q&A\, book signing\, and light refreshments to follow.

SUMMARY:Jim Shepard at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes Jim Shepard—award-winning author of eight novels and six story collections\, including The Book of Aron and Like You’d Understand\, Anyway—for a discussion of his new story collection\, The Queen of Bad Influences. He will be joined in conversation by Margot Livesey—author of ten novels\, including the New York Times bestseller The Flight of Gemma Hardy and her most recent novel The Road from Belhaven. \nAbout The Queen of Bad Influences\nTwelve compressed masterworks from this great American writer of catastrophe fiction\, in which lives are upended as much by broken hearts as by collapsing dams\, hideously mismanaged wars\, gargantuan wildfires\, and apocalyptic storms. \nIn Richard Ford’s view\, Jim Shepard’s “talent is so various and canny he can write about seemingly anything and make it thrilling to us\,” and in these stories spanning six centuries we find viscerally evoked worlds as wildly diverse as a mercenary’s corner of 16th century Madrid\, a young apprentice’s pre-Revolutionary Boston\, and Edward Hyde’s London.  With civil engineers and destitute veterans we encounter the devastating 1935 Labor Day hurricane in Florida\, and we read the 1864 letters between Lucy in Boon\, North Carolina (“Three privates are currently sleeping soundly on our porch in their muddy blankets”) and her great love\, William\, on the march in Tennessee (“I can’t write much for it seems we are looking for a fight every minute”)\, while the title story introduces us to the stubborn Constance\, who had “no gift for flirtation” with men\, preferring Minna\, her best friend and “queen of bad influences\,” as their vexed devotion unfolds in part on the liner Lusitania. \nWith irony\, compassion\, and withering humor\, these stories evoke the terrible ease with which cataclysm\, human-engineered or otherwise\, can sweep away all we find most precious\, and expose those limitations we’ve refused to address. At the same time\, Shepard celebrates what is best in us: the love and friendships we sustain\, and the passions and grace we grant one another.

SUMMARY:Isabel Oliart
DESCRIPTION:Hailing from Boston\, award-winning fiddler Isabel Oliart has been playing the violin since she was 3 years old. \nShe began her musical journey with classical music\, and then discovered Scottish and Celtic fiddling through Brian O’Donovan’s show\, A Christmas Celtic Sojourn\, where she was inspired by artists including Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Hass. \nShe started learning fiddle music for the first time in 2009\, taking lessons with Anne Hooper\, and has since worked with other world-renowned teachers such as Winifred Horan and Hanneke Cassel. \nIsabel studied with Lucy Chapman and Nicholas Kitchen at the New England Conservatory and with Bayla Keyes at Boston University\, where she recently achieved her Masters of Music. \nShe now pursues a career in both classical music and Celtic fiddling. Primarily a Scottish fiddler\, Isabel also has a love for the fiddle music of Ireland\, Cape-Breton\, as well as Contra dance music. \nIsabel won the Junior fiddle competition at the New Hampshire Highland Games in 2013 and then went on to win the Open fiddle competition in 2023. She is currently the National Scottish Fiddle Champion of 2025. In 2021 her tune The Top of the Mountain won the Scottish F.I.R.E Tune Writing Competition. \nShe has placed second and third in many other competitions over the past years\, including the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games\, the New England Regional Open Competition\, and the US Scottish Nationals. She was a finalist in the Dan R. MacDonald Scottish Fiddle Competition in South Carolina in 2022. \nIn addition to competing\, Isabel plays numerous shows with many top musicians in the Boston area. For several years she played in a duo with cellist McKinley James\, named Catching Sparks\, as well as with cellist Giulia Haible\, of the Scottish Fish. She regularly frequents The Burren Backroom Series in Somerville\, Massachusetts\, performing solo openings for artists such as Winifred Horan\, and now performs with her band The Isabel Oliart Band\, and with her duo with Sammy Wetstein. She also sometimes performs as a duo fiddle with Anne Hooper. \nThe Isabel Oliart Band consists of Isabel on fiddle\, Anne Hooper on fiddle\, and Sammy Wetstein on cello or piano. The trio recently debuted one of their first shows for a sold out crowd at the Newton free public library. The band will be performing regularly throughout New England and will be debuting a new album in the fall of 2026. \nIsabel has been featured on several radio shows\, including GBH’s A Celtic Sojourn \, as well as multiple appearances on NPR’s Says You. She has also played for many Scottish country dances. In the summer of 2022 she performed her original tune Crow Over the Water at the Rockport Celtic Festival\, accompanied by harpist Maeve Gilchrist. In 2026 she debuted at the New Hampshire Highland Games and in 2026 she debuted a set of her own original tunes at the Pure Dead Brilliant Fiddle camp concert at the Groton Hill Music center with artists such as Hanneke Cassel\, Natalie Haas\, Elizabeth Anderson and Conor Hearn. She can also be found playing at sessions in the Boston area and she regularly attends fiddle camps throughout the year. \nA keen composer\, Isabel’s original tunes can be found on her Facebook page and on her Youtube channel\, Isabel’s Music. \nIn late 2023\, Isabel released her debut album Late Evening’s Dram. The album features Conor Hearn on guitar\, Elizabeth Anderson on fiddle\, Sammy Wetstein on cello\, Elias Alexander on pipes\, and Maeve Gilchrist on harp. Isabel worked with Scottish and Cape Breton fiddler Katie McNally to produce the album\, and it was engineered by Antonio Oliart\, with photography and design by Louise Bichan.

SUMMARY:Filipiñana
DESCRIPTION:Director: Rafael Manuel \nRun Time: 100 min. \nFormat: DCP \nRelease Year: 2026 \nLanguage: Tagalog \nStarring: Carlos Siguion-Reyna\, Jorrybell Agoto\, Nour Hooshmand\, Sunshine Teodoro\, Teroy Guzman \n\nPremiere Run!\nWinner: World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Creative Vision\, Sundance Film Festival 2026 \nAmid stifling heat and pervasive drought\, Isabel (Agoto)\, a 17-year-old Ilokana from the rural north\, works at a posh country club outside Manila\, lining up golf balls for powerful men to drive into the verdant horizon. New to the job\, she wanders the immaculate grounds sampling its luxuries as members\, including an industrialist and his expatriate niece\, the club president and his pampered wife\, and a slew of Chinese tourists\, engage in a complex dance with the club’s doting and subservient staff. But something is rotting beneath the pristine fairways of the elite resort\, as Isabel discovers when she tries to return a mislaid golf club to its patriarchal director\, Dr. Palanca (Guzman). The deeper she journeys into its most exclusive corners\, the closer she gets to the violent truths of the club\, her native Philippines\, and her own past. – KinoLorber Films \n“A masterwork… Manuel opens new vistas in the future of the cinema.” – Richard Brody\, The New Yorker \n“An invigorating dose of arch formalism in a sea of mainstream sincerity\, this is the kind of movie that asks for the viewer’s attention…the angle of a golf club can evoke suspense\, a piece of fruit on the ground can feel like a tragedy\, and a casual glance can take your breath away.” – Bilge Ebiri\, Vulture

SUMMARY:Live Blues & Roots Music Returns to Harvard Square: Wednesday Nights @ The Sea Hag Restaurant & Bar
DESCRIPTION:The Sea Hag Restaurant & Bar and The Barrett Anderson Band are excited to announce a new weekly series\, Blues & Roots Wednesdays\, bringing live music back home to historic Harvard Square. \n“Cambridge\, our fair city\, and I share deep roots\, and I’m thrilled to find a new musical home at The Sea Hag\,” says Massachusetts-based singer/guitarist\, Barrett Anderson.  “Good music and good food are two of our most basic\, fundamental needs\,” he continues\, “What great joy they give us.  I am so happy to revel in that every Wednesday night with my dearest musical friends\, and Kari and her incredible team at The Sea Hag.  We go way back together\, and I can’t imagine all the fun we have ahead.” \nIndeed\, Anderson has strong connections to this scene.  He remembers: “My first professional experience came when I was 15\, backing up Muddy Waters’ band alums Pinetop Perkins and Bob Margolin at the original House of Blues on Winthrop Street.  A few months after that I began busking\, you’d often find me in Brattle Square or by the pit.  This would have been mid/late 90s.”  While still a teen\, Anderson was a member of The Monster Mike Welch Band and Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters (“Ronnie was my guitar hero.  Then he was my teacher\, then my boss.  Now he’s my musical Father\,” Anderson says)\, before eventually starting The Barrett Anderson Band in 2007. \nAnderson won a Boston Music Award (2013 Blues Artist of the Year)\, was on the Billboard charts (2020’s live album Hynoboogie spent 3 weeks on the Billboard Blues Album chart\, peaking at #6)\, and was nominated for a Blues Music Award (2023 Band of the Year with Anthony Geraci & The Boston Blues All-Stars)\, all the while playing nationally\, internationally\, and locally in Cambridge and the greater Boston area. \nIn addition to the musical roots\, long-time locals may recognize Anderson from a decade serving tables and bartending at The Sea Hag’s sister establishment\, Grendel’s Den\, or from Abodeon\, the mid-century modern shop started by his family. \nMusic starts every Wednesday at 6:30 at The Sea Hag Restaurant & Bar\, 49 Mt Auburn St\, and there’s no cover.  “We start while people are dining\,” Anderson states.  “It forces us to play dynamically\, dig deep\, and explore the space\, creating music that doesn’t demand attention but rewards it.”  He adds with a grin “We do get to turn up and demand attention too\, we just have to time it right.” \nJoining Anderson (vocals and guitar) are Paul Loranger (upright and electric bass)\, and Joey Pafumi (drums and percussion).  “This is the core of The Barrett Anderson Band\,” Anderson explains.  “The full band has wonderful additional musicians\, but for this gig tight and light was right.  This gives us the flexibility to learn material fast and improvise easily on the spot\, allowing for regular guests and specially themed evenings.  We’re making sure that each week is rewarding and unique.” \nThe Barrett Anderson Band are digging deep into their Cambridge roots for the first string of shows\, featuring local roots rock king Dennis Brennan as a special guest. \nBlues & Roots Wednesdays at The Sea Hag Restaurant & Bar\n49 Mt Auburn St\, Cambridge MA 02139\nMusic starts @ 6:30\nWednesday nights \n  \nWhat critics say about Barrett Anderson \nFrom Jay Clestowski\, Disciples of Sound: “Barrett Anderson continues to carry the torch that J. Geils left behind…  HypnoBoogie demonstrates that some of the best grooves come out of the ‘dirty water’ and that’s where they belong.” \nFrom JD Nash\, American Blues Scene: “This Bean Town foursome packs enough raw energy on stage to power the whole of New England.” \nFrom Chris Spector\, Midwest Record: “Anderson has the chops and spark to make a real statement his own way.  Hot stuff.” \nFrom Jay Miller\, The Patriot Ledger: “HypnoBoogie… is the kind of refreshingly vibrant\, genre-crossing album that is a throwback to the days when rock ‘n’ roll acknowledged its roots in blues\, but ventured wherever the spirit took it.” \nWhat critics say about The Sea Hag Restaurant & Bar \nFrom Sheryl Julian\, Boston Globe: “Harvard Square’s Sea Hag is the little sister to Grendel’s Den…” \nFrom Kara Baskin\, Boston Globe: “The team behind Grendel’s Den in Harvard Square has opened Sea Hag\, replacing The Bouthouse.  Wash ashore for fish and chips\, Jamaican beef patties\, arancini\, crab dip\, raw bar delights\, and muffins…” \nFrom Boston Restaurant Talk: “The Sea Hag opens in the former Boathouse space in Harvard Square.” \nFrom Marc Levy and Rónán Fitzgerald: “Grendel’s Den owner Kari Kuelzer is expanding in Harvard Square\, taking over the Boathouse location to open The Sea Hag Restaurant & Bar.” \nwww.barrettandersonband.com\nwww.seahag02138.com

SUMMARY:Ágora Cultural Architects present: Richard Peña Trío
DESCRIPTION:“Peña is a talented and driven artist with a unique sound. In particular\, he is an excellent guitarist with a truly one-of-a-kind style which transcends genre boundaries and definitions.”\n— Jazz Corner Magazine \nGuitarist\, composer\, and educator Richard Peña is a rising force in Latin jazz\, blending Afro-Caribbean traditions with modern jazz innovation. Named Youth Jazz Ambassador by the Humacao Friends of Jazz Association\, Peña has performed internationally as a bandleader and alongside Grammy-winning artists such as Horacio “El Negro” Hernández\, Dafnis Prieto\, Henry Cole\, Richie Flores\, Charlie Sepúlveda\, Carlos Vives\, and Victor Manuelle. \nBorn and raised in Puerto Rico\, Peña began his recording career at just 15 years old as a bassist for the Guess Who Jazz Quartet\, releasing Ready For Departure (2014)\, which won Best New Production at the Fox Music USA Latin Music Awards. That same year\, he shifted his focus to jazz guitar\, leading a group that represented Puerto Rico at the Berklee High School Jazz Festival\, where they won Best Group. \nPeña studied jazz guitar at the Conservatorio de Música de Puerto Rico under the guidance of Fernando Mattina and has taken masterclasses with acclaimed musicians such as Miguel Zenón\, David Sánchez\, Vic Juris\, Rodney Jones\, and Barry Greene. His playing\, rooted in both tradition and innovation\, reflects a deep understanding of jazz harmony\, phrasing\, and Afro-Caribbean rhythmic concepts. \nHis discography showcases his evolution as an artist. His debut album\, Hey\, Don Rey! (2018)\, earned critical acclaim\, with the track Passageways receiving a nomination for Best Funk/Fusion/Jam Song at the 18th Independent Music Awards (IMA). He followed with Aguinaldo Jíbaro (2019)\, a jazz guitar trio reinterpretation of Puerto Rican classics\, recognized among the Best 20 Albums of 2019 by the National Foundation for Popular Culture. Synergy (2020)\, blending post-bop\, fusion\, and Puerto Rican jazz elements\, was nominated for Best Jazz Instrumental Album at the IMAs. His 2020 release\, Pandemik\, created in collaboration with the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture and the National Endowment for the Arts\, was praised for its artistic and emotional depth in response to the global crisis. \nBeyond performing\, Peña is a dedicated educator\, creating high-quality jazz guitar content for over 260\,000 followers across social platforms and teaching more than 2\,000 students through Patreon. His work continues to bridge tradition and innovation\, inspiring a new generation of jazz musicians.

SUMMARY:Filipiñana
DESCRIPTION:Director: Rafael Manuel \nRun Time: 100 min. \nFormat: DCP \nRelease Year: 2026 \nLanguage: Tagalog \nStarring: Carlos Siguion-Reyna\, Jorrybell Agoto\, Nour Hooshmand\, Sunshine Teodoro\, Teroy Guzman \n\nPremiere Run!\nWinner: World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Creative Vision\, Sundance Film Festival 2026 \nAmid stifling heat and pervasive drought\, Isabel (Agoto)\, a 17-year-old Ilokana from the rural north\, works at a posh country club outside Manila\, lining up golf balls for powerful men to drive into the verdant horizon. New to the job\, she wanders the immaculate grounds sampling its luxuries as members\, including an industrialist and his expatriate niece\, the club president and his pampered wife\, and a slew of Chinese tourists\, engage in a complex dance with the club’s doting and subservient staff. But something is rotting beneath the pristine fairways of the elite resort\, as Isabel discovers when she tries to return a mislaid golf club to its patriarchal director\, Dr. Palanca (Guzman). The deeper she journeys into its most exclusive corners\, the closer she gets to the violent truths of the club\, her native Philippines\, and her own past. – KinoLorber Films \n“A masterwork… Manuel opens new vistas in the future of the cinema.” – Richard Brody\, The New Yorker \n“An invigorating dose of arch formalism in a sea of mainstream sincerity\, this is the kind of movie that asks for the viewer’s attention…the angle of a golf club can evoke suspense\, a piece of fruit on the ground can feel like a tragedy\, and a casual glance can take your breath away.” – Bilge Ebiri\, Vulture

SUMMARY:Theo Croker
DESCRIPTION:GRAMMY-nominated trumpeter\, composer\, producer\, and bandleader Theo Croker continues to redefine the possibilities of modern jazz with his new album\, DREAM MANIFEST (Dom Recs / Fat Beats\, June 13). Hailed by the LA Times as “a path to jazz greatness\,” Croker’s latest work is an immersive journey where jazz\, experimental hip-hop\, and cosmic soul collide — the result of an artist unbound by genre and led only by creative vision. \nWith singles like the high-energy “We Still Wanna Dance” (produced by D’LEAU)\, the soul-laced “High Vibrations” (featuring Malaya)\, and the hypnotic “Crystal Waterfalls\,” Croker shapes a sonic world that is both timeless and of the moment (Wall Street Journal). His unmistakable air of chill\, as NPR notes\, comes from “a clear musical approach and determination” — qualities that have made him a standout collaborator for artists like Ari Lennox\, Common\, J. Cole\, Jill Scott\, and Wyclef Jean\, and a magnetic performer on stages from NPR’s Tiny Desk to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
