“Music is all I think about. From the moment I wake up in the morning…to the moment I fall asleep at night. I was born to play. It’s my reason for living.”

-Joe Garner

Community MusicWorks and Providence Movie Club present Movie Night featuring Soul!

Disney’s Pixar hit film Soul features Joe Garner, a middle-school band teacher whose life hasn’t quite gone the way he expected. His true passion is jazz, but when he travels to another realm to help someone find their passion, he soon discovers what it means to have soul.

CMW Movie Night: Soul
Thursday, August 13 at 7 pm
The CMW Center
1326 Westminster Street, Providence

Admission is free and no reservations are necessary.
All children must be accompanied by an adult.

The MusicWorks Collective opens the season with a program exploring identity, place, and belonging through music that draws on diverse cultural traditions and lived experience.

The concert begins with Angelica Negrón’s Marejada, a shimmering quartet woven together with recorded sounds from her native Puerto Rico, before turning to Jarod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate’s Pisachi (Reveal), a work inspired by Pueblo and Hopi musical traditions and the composer’s vision for an American Indian classical music. The program concludes with Anthony Green’s Earned, commissioned by CMW in 2009. Centered on the U.S. naturalization process, the work pairs questions from the citizenship exam with musical quotations from cultures around the world, inviting reflection on immigration, identity, and what it means to belong. Storyteller Rochel Coleman joins the ensemble as narrator, giving voice to the questions at the heart of this powerful work.
