- This event has passed.
Catch inspiration from two historical, international pop-culture game changers in one show!
This double-feature film and music event will showcase classical composer Saint-Saëns’ short, humorous musical suite, Carnival of the Animals, and french magician and early filmmaker, Georges Méliès’ 1902 silent film, A Trip to the Moon, with live musical performance by an ensemble of two pianos, marimba, violin, viola, cello, double bass, flute and clarinet. Enhanced with curated projections and narration by MPR’s Michael Barone, plus dazzling lights and a new original score for A Trip to the Moon by local composer and Minnesota State Arts Board recipient, Christa Rübsam, all ages are encouraged to come experience and be inspired by these classic gems in a fresh splash of sound and color!
Fresh Classic Musical Arts, founded by Christa Rübsam, encourages discovery of classic arts in film and music, and works to inspire people of all ages to pursue their own arts journeys.
Christa Rübsam is a fiscal year 2025 recipient of a Creative Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
