From Bach to Rock- Cello Performance with Alex Prizgintas
Saturday, February 4, 12:00pm
In the Museum
Regional musician Alex Prizgintas will bring his program “From Bach to Rock” to the Ellenville Public Library and Museum. In addition to performing the cello in its traditional form, Alex employs an assortment of guitar pedals to generate altered tones. Some of these pedals include the distortion, delay, the iconic “wah-wah” pedal (symbolic of 1960s rock bands), all in conjunction with his Boss RC-300 looping station. Combined with a historical narrative that traces the history of baroque-era composers, jazz artists, and Rock n’ Roll bands, Alex immerses his audience in a journey through musical history with the aid of his cello.

"Taking on the lead roles, Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell both provide performances that truly give life to this true story. The movie is an inspiring, but intense story of heroism and sacrifice, which might make it difficult for younger or sensitive viewers, even though there is not an abundance of gore. Filled with an impressive sets and special effects, Devotion is a moving and captivating tale of an impressive fighter pilot during the Korean War."
