Italian Film Festival Opening Night Film & Party
Thursday, October 9 at 7:30 p.m.
Italian Film Festival opens with Roberto Faenza's I Vicere, set in the mid-1800's involving members of the Uzeda family, descendants of the Viceroys of Spain.

Festival Miami 2008 - Ritz Chamber Players
Friday, October 10 at 8 p.m.
Festival Miami 2008 welcomes the Ritz Chamber Players, the nation's first ensemble composed solely of musicians spanning the African Diaspora. The players perform the music of Antonin Dvorak, a Czech composer with an American sensibility. Dvorak wrote in 1893 that the future music of the United States would be founded upon Negro spirituals, and much of his work, including the rhapsodic Piano Quartet No. 2, is flavored by the African-American musical heritage. Cellist Kenneth Law and pianist Terrence Wilson also perform the Cello Sonata of George Walker, the first African-American to win the Pulitizer Prize. Tickets are $30, $25, $20 and $15; all seats reserved. The performance is sponsored by WLRN 91.3 FM.
