Big Week at the Town Hall Theatre

Plumas Arts has a convergence of world-class events coming to the Town Hall Theatre.
 
It begins with the screening of the documentary RBG on Wednesday, October 31 at 7pm. RBG is a certain contender for best documentary film. It is the story of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who at the age of 84, has developed a breathtaking legal legacy while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon. The unique personal journey of this diminutive, quiet warrior's rise to the nation's highest court has been largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans - until now.

A few days later Plumas Arts will host a lively world music concert duo with Scottish cultural ambassador and fiddle master Alasdair Fraser and Julliard trained California cellist Natalie Haas on Friday, November 2. The concert begins at 7pm with doors opening at 6:30pm.
 
The musical partnership between consummate performer Alasdair Fraser, "the Michael Jordan of Scottish fiddling", and brilliant Californian cellist Natalie Haas spans the full spectrum between intimate chamber music and ecstatic dance energy. Over the last 18 years of creating a buzz at festivals and concert halls across the world, they have truly set the standard for fiddle and cello in traditional music. They continue to thrill audiences internationally with their virtuosic playing, their near-telepathic understanding and the joyful spontaneity and sheer physical presence of their music.
 
General Admission is $25 with a $20 price for Plumas arts members. Presale tickets are available online at plumasarts.org or at the Plumas Arts Gallery, Quincy Natural Foods and Quincy Provisions.  A special offer is made to music students to attend the concert at the member discount price, just ask at any of the outlets or choose the member price online.
