We love it when events combine movies and music! So check out The Orchestra of Piazza Vittorio, a documentary about the creation of a multi-ethnic world music orchestra from Italy. Diverse residents of the Piazza Vittorio neighborhood in Rome banded together and created the multi-ethnic world music orchestra in an attempt to save a historic movie theater from destruction. The movie then follows the orchestra's unlikely rise to success and the various musicians' stories.
The orchestra is touring with the film, and they're bringing their message of unity their West Coast debut next Tuesday at the Clay (the theater on Fillmore in Pac Heights), after the 7:30 screening of the movie. Should be fun! Tickets are $9.75, and you get the movie and the performance.
