Jazz Forum Presents Film: The Best of the Best—Jazz from Detroit
Date/Time: Thursday, January 15, 7 pm Location: Jazz Forum Arts, 1 Dixon Lane, Tarrytown
While Detroit music may mean Motown Records to some, this dynamic film documents that you can't tell the history of jazz without telling the history of jazz from Detroit—and even Motown would not have been possible without jazz in the Motor City.
Through copious interviews of the giants who shaped the sound and a compelling narrative inspired by Mark Stryker's 2019 book, Jazz From Detroit, the film reveals how many internationally-renowned jazz greats—Hank, Thad, and Elvin Jones, Milt Jackson, Yusef Lateef, Donald Byrd, Tommy Flanagan, Kenny Burrell, Ron Carter and many more—were Detroiters and the powerful role that city and its culture have played creating this music.
By connecting the dots between Detroit’s unique history and its innovative and influential legacy of Black musical excellence, the film is, as DownBeat calls it, “a landmark.”
Following the presentation, there will be a 30-minute Q&A with the audience
General Admission: $27.25 Child/Student: $22

The Radium Era: Rise and Demise of Radioactive Quackery— A Zoom Presentation by Warner Library
Date/Time: January 26, 7 pm Location: Zoom
This talk takes us back to the early 1900s, when the discovery of radium sparked a wave of excitement in popular culture. Despite the lack of scientific evidence, radium was marketed as a cure for everything from cancer to impotence, and its glowing properties made it a popular ingredient in consumer products. But as the devastating health effects of radium exposure became apparent, the tide turned against it, and it was eventually recognized as a hazardous material. This talk delves into the fascinating history of radium and its impact on society, shedding light on the dangers of misinformation and the power of scientific discovery.

Pocantico Center Presents: Shen Wei: Still/Moving
Date/Time: October 18, 2025–April 18, 2026, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11 AM-3 PM Location: The Pocantico Center, 200 Lake Rd.
Tarrytown, NY 10591
Shen Wei: Still/Moving commemorates thirty years of Shen Wei’s visionary career as a dancer, choreographer, visual artist, filmmaker, and global cultural ambassador. This joint exhibition of The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Katonah Museum of Art will illuminate the full scope of the artist’s trailblazing practice, offering viewers access to Shen Wei’s extensive paintings, works on paper, choreographic compositions, and short films, including new pieces never before exhibited in the United States.
At The Pocantico Center, the exhibition will focus on Shen Wei’s landscape paintings, reflecting his ongoing dialogue with Chinese traditional painting and nature. Often monumental in scale, these compositions possess a cinematic quality that compels the viewer’s eyes to dance. The exhibition at the KMA will emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of Shen Wei’s body of work: the generative influence of music on his dance practice and the central role of choreographed movement in his paintings. While each section stands alone, audiences are encouraged to visit both sites to experience the complete exhibition.
Shen Wei: Still/Moving is co-organized by The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Katonah Museum of Art. The exhibition is curated by Michelle Yun Mapplethorpe, director and chief curator of the KMA, with support from Elizabeth Monti, associate curator at KMA, and Katrina London, curator at The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.
