Playing the hits and deep cuts spanning the career of Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame group Fleetwood Mac, Tusk has been crisscrossing the country since 2008 as The Classic Fleetwood Mac Tribute. Five pro musicians turned into masters of their trade through decades of individual music study, live performance, creative risk and devotion to the art. TUSK features note-perfect renditions of both the solo and full band songs, with each member specializing in one of the core lineup of Fleetwood Mac (Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood). They possess an electric stage presence that can only come from well over a decade touring together. Truly the best at what they do, TUSK is unmatched in their tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time.

Alfred Yun is a Korean-American jazz pianist and composer. His music is influenced by his upbringing in both Korea and the United States. You can hear influences ranging from jazz, hip hop, and K-Pop to traditional Korean music in Alfred Yun’s compositions.

Alfred was honored to be chosen by the Music Center At Strathmore as an Artist-in-Residence for the 2023-2024 season.

Get a sneak peek at a near-completed feature film! This Work In Progress screening is a crucial test run for the filmmaker, who is looking for honest feedback from a fresh audience to see what works, and what needs a final polish before the picture lock. The filmmakers will be in attendance.

WORK IN PROGRESS FILM:

THE LUTHIER: The Ballad of Amnon Weinstein by Jon Adelman and Justin Toops

The film explores lyrically a master craftsman’s lifelong dedication to restoring violins, including the world famous collection of Holocaust violins known as the Violins of Hope. The collection would become his passion, his obsession, and ultimately his legacy.

ABOUT WORK IN PROGRESS SCREENINGS

Launched in May 2004, the Work In Progress screening program is Docs In Progress' flagship initiative, inviting audiences directly into the creative process. By providing critical rough-cut feedback to more than 150 filmmakers, this program has fueled community connection and helped independent films cross the finish line. From these screenings, our alumni have catapulted onto the global stage, earning national broadcasts, headlining major festivals, and capturing prestigious accolades like the Peabody, Emmy, and spots on the Oscar Shortlist.
