Special Holiday Screening of Young@Heart December 5, 2009

SPECIAL HOLIDAY SCREENING OF YOUNG@HEART

On Saturday, December 5, 2009 at 4:00 PM Community Cinema Seattle presents a free holiday screening of the smash hit documentary YOUNG@HEART. It is the true story of the final weeks of rehearsal for the Young@Heart Chorus in Northampton, MA, whose average age is 81. Their music is unexpected, going against the stereotype of their age group, performing songs by James Brown and Sonic Youth. Get ready to rock with the most entertaining golden oldies you will ever meet in the senior citizen's choir Young@Heart. With a show only weeks away, they must learn a slate of new songs ranging from James Brown to Coldplay. The chorus’ director leads them through tough rehearsals, proving that rock and roll can be hard work––especially if you’re hard of hearing! Climaxing in a triumphant performance, their inspiring story celebrates the unbreakable bonds of friendship and the life-affirming power of music.

The film will be preceded and followed by live performances and an audience Q&A. The event is open to the public and all are welcome.
