Come See Michael McDonald

Time: 7:00 PM

Location: Laxson Auditorium

Join Chico Performances as Grammy winning R&B artist Michael McDonald hits the stage at Laxson Auditorium, on Tues., Aug. 19, 2008 at 7:30pm.

R&B icon Michael McDonald has been a fixture in American pop music for over three decades, from his time with the Doobie Brothers (“Taking It to the Streets,” “Minute By Minute,” and “What a Fool Believes,”) and Steely Dan (“Aja,”) to his Grammy winning “Yah Mo B There” duet with James Ingram. On tour to promote his newest album Soul Speak (a follow up to his recently released Motown albums) the five time Grammy-winner proves that age, at least for him, means not only gray hair, but an enduringly loyal audience who appreciates the Michael McDonald “sound”.

Tickets are $47 Premium, $42 Adult, $40 Senior, $30 Student/Child and are available at the University Box Office, 898-6333.

University Film Series: Edvard Munch, Part II (1974, Norway)

Time: 7:30 PM

Location: Little Theatre (Ayres 106)

Approx. 110min. Directed by Peter Watkins for television.

Following a rough chronology from 1884 to 1894, when Norwegian artist Edvard Munch began expressionism and established himself as northern Europe’s most maligned and controversial artist, the film also flashes back to the death from consumption of his mother, when he was five, his sister’s death, and his near death at 13 from pulmonary disease. The film finds enduring significance in Munch’s brief affair with “Mrs. Heiberg” and his participation in the cafe society of anarchist Hans Jaeger in Christiania and later in Berlin with Strindberg. Through it all comes Munch’s melancholy and his desire to render on canvas, cardboard, paper, stone, and wood his innermost feelings. With Peter Watkins, Eli Ryg, Geir Westby, Gro Fraas, Knut Khristiansen. (Please note: we showed Part I January 2008.)

$3 donation appreciated, 898-4642
