THIS WEDNESDAY AT THE PORCUPINE THEATER!

The Glacier Quartet will perform three very personal works from the Romantic period. Beethoven’s 11th quartet Op.95, the “Serioso,” written as an experiment just prior to his most mature compositions. Hugo Wolf, a Viennese composer known for his art songs, wrote “Italian Serenade,” his only quartet and most famous string work. Bedrich Smetana’s “From My Life” is a biographical work by the father of Czech musical nationalism. Both Beethoven and Smetana were deaf when they composed their works, and Wolf was on the cusp of being consigned to a mental institution.

The Glacier Quartet will perform on Wednesday, June 17th at 7pm. Tickets for this event are currently on sale on our website: https://porcupinetheater.com/special_events/glacier-quartet-june-concert/

THIS WEDNESDAY AT 7PM!

Join us for this screening of Chaplin’s comedic masterwork The Gold Rush with live piano accompaniment by Homer’s own Johnny B!

Charlie Chaplin’s iconic “Little Tramp” embarks on a hilarious and heartwarming journey. Written, produced, directed by Chaplin who stars as the Lone Prospector, a character who ventures into the Alaskan wilderness during the Gold Rush in search of fortune.

The story follows the Prospector as he faces numerous challenges, including harsh weather, hunger, and encounters with wild animals and criminals. Among the film’s most iconic scenes are Chaplin’s character cooking and eating his own shoe to stave off starvation, him making two dinner rolls "dance", and the precariously dangling shack on the cliffside! The Gold Rush is celebrated for its blend of comedy and pathos, and Chaplin himself considered it one of his best works.

This performance will take place on Wednesday, June 10th at 7pm and is one night only. Tickets are $15 and are available for purchase at our website: https://porcupinetheater.com/movies/the-gold-rush-with-johnny-b-2/

TOMORROW AT THE PORCUPINE THEATER!

"While making this, I kept telling Todd that 99.9% of the world will absolutely hate this film.
(He loved hearing that.) That’s ok, because it’s not for them. The good news is, the other .1% of people will love it. Those are our people. The imperfect ones. The weirdos and the outsiders. They’ll be so damned grateful that we took the time to make this. No matter how flawed and ramshackled it is (and it is.) They’ll appreciate it and support it. (He loved hearing that too.)"
- Otis Gibbs, Director

This Wednesday at The Porcupine Theater at 12:30, 6:00, & 8:00, come and check out "A Love Letter to Handsome John", an intimate portrait of Todd Snider in the last year of his life. What starts as a film about gratitude, and a way to say thank you to John Prine, becomes a rare glimpse of the artist at home in his most quiet moments.

Tickets are currently available for sale on The Porcupine Theater's website: https://porcupinetheater.com/movies/a-love-letter-to-handsome-john/

THIS FRIDAY AT 6:30PM!

The Anchorage Bowl Chamber Orchestra has disrupted the model of traditional classical music performances with creative programming, accessible venues, free attendance, and a lot of fun!

Originally known for their ability to reduce large orchestral works to be played by a 15-20 piece chamber orchestra, the ABCO program has evolved to feature three to four works performed by the entire orchestra, leaving room for any artist within the orchestra and beyond to submit a chamber piece to perform in between the larger works. As a result, ABCO’s concerts have included many eclectic performances: electric violin solos, folk duos, Brazilian art songs, contemporary experimental oboe solos, musical theater, and more, providing a diverse and enriching musical experience for their audiences. The orchestra also performs more traditional pieces in fun and exciting ways – surrounded by dancers from local dance collectives, stomping their feet in La Follia, and using props in Psycho Suite – ABCO’s energy gives traditional pieces new life. Audiences are encouraged to react accordingly, cheering (even between movements) instead of the customary polite clapping.

With classical audiences dwindling across the country, ABCO’s work is more important than ever. By providing free community concerts in accessible venues ABCO has brought diverse and new patronage to classical music.

This free concert is generously sponsored by Homer Real Estate and The Porcupine Theater.
