A little bit about our series BEYOND MUSIC

BEYOND MUSIC, curated and hosted by Daniel Rothman, is an innovative series promoting music specifically of genres outside (beyond) those that are more commonly heard at commercial venues, such as clubs.  
Although it is primarily a curated series, proposals may be submitted by sending a CD accompanied by a description of performers and technical requirements to Beyond Music at Beyond Baroque at 681 Venice Blvd., Venice, CA 90291. 

Please do not email your information with links to a website where your music can be heard. 
Beyond Baroque appreciates proposals it receives from composers and performers; however, please be advised that limited series dates for the current season and dates already scheduled for future seasons prevent Beyond Music from programming everything of interest. 


Please check out our newly created youtube channel named BeyondBaroqueMusic Channel:

We hope you will come and enjoy the series, which is presented every fourth Saturday of the month at 9PM sharp!

Check our web calendar for the music events listings at www.beyondbaroque.org

December 9, Friday through December 22, Thursday MOVIE EVENT: PAUL GOODMAN CHANGED MY LIFE

We are happy to share the info we received from the production company ZEITGEIST about the screenings of  their movie

PAUL GOODMAN CHANGED MY LIFE



**Location**
Downtown Independent
251 S. Main Street Los Angeles, CA 90012
Check their website for ticket and screening information.

Watch the trailer here. 



Goodman's prolific career as a “professional outsider”was an uninhibited articulation of the diminishing democratic voice in Post World War-II America. His incessant publishing of philosophical, sociological and psychological texts, along with a large body of fiction and poetry, provide a glimpse into the accelerating unrest of the 40's and 50's. His political impact culminated in Absurd's publication in 1960, after which Goodman, exhausted by the tumultuous excess of 60's culture, faded into obscurity. In his prime, an advocate for massive education reform, a passionate poet, a radical urban planner and an anarchist steeped in classical western tradition. “I suspect that as a person, he's not very well remembered” said Noam Chomsky, “but his impact is all around us.”

With PAUL GOODMAN CHANGED MY LIFE director JONATHAN LEE, himself a longtime social activist and writer, testifies to Goodman's profound influence on personal and political communities, as well as boldly calls for a resurrection of his voice in the public sphere. The long deceased Goodman emerges in the film in all his humane beauty and frailty, an uncompromising man of letters.

“Any page by PAUL GOODMAN will give you not only originality and brilliance but wisdom, that is, something to think about. He is our peculiar, urban, twentieth-century Thoreau, the quintessential American mind of our time.” —Hayden Carruth, poet.
