Concert for hospice
The Nova Swing Band is planning two evenings of entertainment April 25 and 26 entitled “Movies, Memories and Music”.
This light-hearted look at music in the cinema will raise funds for the Valley Hospice Foundation.
The concert in the Al Whittle Theatre in Wolfville will feature the Ed Kuhn Trio and guest vocalists Donna-Lynn Holmes, Gary Leeson, Matt Balsor and the Trilliums.
Curtain time is 8 p.m. and tickets are $10/$8 for students. They’re available at the Just Us Café or at the door.
On screen
This Wednesday, Fundy Film screens I’m Not There, a fictional portrait of Bob Dylan, which uses his music and actors to braid together shifting identities of Dylan’s character throughout his career.
Cate Blanchett as the substance-abusing confrontational ‘Dylan’ of the mid-60s gives a mesmerizing performance.
It will screen at the Al Whittle Theatre, Wolfville Wed., April 23, 7 p.m.
Fundy Film screens The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, the award-winning visual marvel adapted from Jean-Dominique Bauby’s bestselling memoir. Creative cinematic technique captures Bauby’s profoundly moving inner life after a stroke paralyzes all but his left eyelid. It will screen Sunday, April 27 at 4 and 7 p.m. and Monday, April 28 at 7 p.m. Tickets ($8) are available 30 minutes before screening.
