Oversight for the RPD
The legislation drafted by the city in response to the community push for a Police Accountability Board with teeth is entirely inadequate. It leaves discipline in the hands of the police, is severely underfunded (despite the anticipated drop in city expenses for lawsuits), and takes power out of the hands of community members and places it with political appointees. This watered-down legislation cannot be allowed to pass. Everyone concerned should be contacting City Council now. LIZ BROWN
The Democrats v. Donald Trump
On Urban Journal’s “Donald Trump, Congress, and the Constitution”: I agree that our
Tweeter-in-Chief will remain in office until 2021. But what happens then? In 2020 Trump will be running for re-election as the incumbent. And who will he be running against? At the moment, the Democrats have no clear frontrunner. Although Bernie will doubtless make another run, he’s no more a viable candidate now than he was in 2016, his naive followers notwithstanding. 2 CITY
SEPTEMBER 19 - 25, 2018
Biden is the most qualified potential candidate, but he’s even older than Trump, far too old for the stress of being president. And the Dems have no one else except a collection of second stringers and third raters. So right now, the odds seem to be that we’re stuck with Trump until 2025. As to taking back the House this year (the Senate is out of the question), at best that’s a 50-50 proposition, given how Democrats keep shooting themselves in the foot with talk of “democratic socialism,” “abolish ICE,” and “impeachment,” views that may thrill part of the party, but do far more to energize the Trumpster opposition. And this is all before Trump (with Vlad) launches the inevitable “October surprise.” TIMOTHY BERRING
Oh, but there is something the Democrats can do: win elections with a great plan. Winning on a platform of “Trump is bad” will be a shortlived and hollow victory. So far, I don’t see a great, cohesive Democratic plan that can effectively challenge Trump and the Republicans. TOM JANOWSKI
Taking a knee
The controversy over kneeling during the national anthem is still with us, and given recent events I have changed my opinion on the practice. When the commander-in-chief raises the American flag from half-staff to dishonor an American hero, I, as a sixyear veteran of the armed forces, must now “take a knee” during the playing of the national anthem. I like Commander-inChiefs who didn’t have bone spurs. BILL HULLFISH

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Rochester school district awaits yet another study The latest effort to improve the Rochester school district is now under way: Jaime Aquino, who was appointed by the state education commissioner to assess the district, has arrived and has started work. Aquino, who has the title Distinguished Educator, has had administrative school positions in Los Angeles, Denver, and Hartford, so presumably he knows what to look for. His assignment is to study the district and come up with “goals and objectives for the district and himself for the ensuing year.” And then.... And then we’ll see if yet another assessment makes any difference. We’ve had reports and assessments before. The district’s problems have been identified. And little seems to change. Meantime, we move the chairs and the desks around, change curriculum, close failing schools and open them with new names and new programs, and the problems remain. A good bit of the challenge, as I’ve said plenty of times, is the city’s concentrated poverty. The latest report from the US Census Bureau brought yet another reminder of the shameful state we’ve allowed to develop: Rochester has the third worst child-poverty rate in the nation. That has real impact, and schools can’t eliminate it. But the district and its staff can do a lot better than they’re doing. Some district critics have criticized State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia for appointing Aquino. Well, Elia’s job is to provide oversight for the state’s public school districts. When Rochester is doing as badly as it is, she has a responsibility to act. And she did. So now we wait for Aquino to tell us what he finds. I hope he’ll tell us more than just what’s wrong. I hope he’ll be able to tell us why. Why can’t we fix even the most basic things like taking attendance properly? Presumably this has to do with proper training and oversight, but we’ve known for years that recording attendance is a problem. Previous studies have said that it is. Related to that: Everybody knows that children with high absentee rates do poorly. Why do so many Rochester students skip school so often – and what does the district need to do about that? Clearly there’s a need for more teachers of color. Nationally, we’re told, the supply is limited, but what can the district do to hire more? And how effective are the
I hope the Distinguished Educator will tell us more than just what’s wrong. I hope he’ll be able to tell us why. district’s programs to eliminate racism and change attitudes within its staff? Teachers and principals have told us repeatedly that change is thrown at them with little training. Why have successive superintendents not been able to get that right? And how much of all this is due to a lack of resources – not buildings and desks and books, but money to hire more well-trained counselors, social service staff, reading specialists? If it is possible to create high-achieving schools in a city with one of the country’s highest child poverty rates, it won’t be done on the cheap. Rochester’s teachers, administrators, and school board members are often blamed unfairly for not overcoming the impact of Rochester’s concentrated poverty. They have no control over the conditions outside of their schools. But clearly this district has problems that it can control and should be able to fix. My guess is that Jaime Aquino’s study won’t uncover anything we don’t already know – other than, perhaps, the “why.” We’ve known about problems of training, oversight, racism for years. Why do they persist? If he can tell us that, the rest will be up to us.

Collins stays in
Chris Collins has become the unwanted guest Republicans just can’t get rid of. The former Erie County executive has been running for his fourth term in Congress. But after he was hit with criminal charges related to allegations of securities fraud and insider trading, party leaders began trying to devise a way to get off the November general election ballot. They met repeatedly and combed through election law, looking for even the smallest loophole. But Collins has apparently decided to put himself above party. The Buffalo News reported Monday that he’s decided he not to remove his name from the ballot. He’s acting on “the advice of his criminal attorneys who fear the potential complications of protracted election law challenges almost sure to be initiated by Democrats if he removed his name from the congressional ballot,” the News says. Democrat Nate McMurray, the Grand Island town supervisor, is also running for the seat. The district includes part of Erie County and the Monroe County towns of Hamlin, Wheatland, Rush, and Mendon. The district is heavily Republican, and McMurray
News
has been considered the underdog in the race. Collins continues to maintain his innocence, but McMurray may decide it’s advantageous to raise the criminal charges. In a statement following Collins’ decision to keep running, McMurray said he and voters were talking about issues like health care, infrastructure, and agriculture. But, he said, “we’re still always talking about corruption.”

Police oversight changes headed for public review
Nazareth opens new arts center
A gala on Saturday, September 22, will mark the grand opening of Nazareth College’s Jane and Laurence Glazer Music Performance Center. The $15.5 million facility will be the new home for the school’s Department of Music, a space for both performance and rehearsals, serving onefifth of Nazareth’s student population. The jewel of the new center is the Rose Marie and John Beston Hall, a state-of-the-art venue seating 550 people. The hall’s sound is designed to cater to bigger instrumental ensembles in particular. According to Music Department Chair Mario Martinez, the superior acoustics will help performers hear one another better.
At a press conference Monday, Pastor Wanda Wilson and other members of the Police Accountability Board Alliance said draft police-oversight legislation doesn’t go far enough. PHOTO BY JACOB WALSH
City Council is preparing to start public review of draft legislation changing the way Rochester handles complaints about police conduct. The draft legislation calls for the creation of an independent Police Accountability Board with the power to conduct its own investigations. The draft has been circulated among police-reform activists, the police union, and others. And on Monday, Council President Loretta Scott said the legislation will be submitted in October, which will begin a period of hearings and public comment. Reform activists said the changes outlined in the draft aren’t nearly enough. The draft “fails to establish the five essential pillars” necessary for accountability, the activists said. At a press conference Monday afternoon, Scott emphasized that the document is a draft. “It’s not the end,” she said, “it’s the beginning.” In a press release issued later on Monday, she said she expects there will be “numerous amendments” as a result of community feedback. Revisions to the city’s police oversight process have been underway for months,
the result of continuous prodding by local activists. Scott had hoped to have legislation ready for a Council vote last spring. However, state law and union contracts that protect police officers’ rights and privacy have complicated revisions to the current oversight process. In addition, the proposed accountability board would need staffing, and Scott says funding still has to be identified. Currently, the Rochester Police Department’s Professional Standards Section conducts all investigations into citizen complaints and determines whether the complaints are valid. A separate Civilian Review Board reviews the results of those investigations, but it can’t conduct its own investigation. It can disagree with the PSS findings, but the police chief makes the final determination, and the chief decides what disciplinary measures to take, if any. The draft legislation abolishes the Civilian Review Board and replaces it with a Police Accountability Board, an autonomous office of city government continues on page 8

CELEBRATING 5 YEARS 987 MONROE AVENUE
Beechwood neighborhood leaders are working with Reconnect Rochester, the City of Rochester and several other partners on a project they hope will slow down drivers on Parsells Avenue, which has documented, serious problems with speeding traffic.
NEIGHBORHOODS | BY JEREMY MOULE
Beechwood’s bump in the road Parsells Avenue is, at its heart, a neighborhood street. But the street – a former trolley car route – is wide and straight with no stop signs, so drivers feel comfortable going faster than they should. The speeding is an obvious problem. Two different churches along Parsells have been struck in recent years by cars that careened off the road, says Joe Di Fiore, a board member of the Beechwood Neighborhood Coalition. And a couple of years ago, a 2-year-old boy was killed when a truck struck him at the curb. “It’s not uncommon for people to be going 50 miles per hour,” Di Fiore says. Beechwood neighborhood leaders are working with Reconnect Rochester, the City of Rochester and several other partners on a project they hope will slow down drivers on Parsells. The groups held an event on September 9 where community members painted a mural at the intersection of Parsells and Greeley Street, installed a colorful sculpture made of boxes, and hung yarn art. The visual changes are meant to create a “sense of place” at the intersection, Di Fiore says. The improvements are intended to make the area attractive to residents, business patrons, and visitors, and they’re meant as a signal to the drivers passing through. “We want them to slow down and think
‘Oh, hey, something’s happening here,’” Di Fiore says. “’What is this? There’s activity.’” The project also includes big changes to the street layout. Participants installed temporary curb extensions at all four corners of the intersection. The intersection’s corners were sweeping, not sharp, which allowed drivers to take corners at higher speeds. But the temporary extensions bring the corners closer to a 90-degree angle, forcing drivers to make sharper, slower turns. And as part of the effort, the city will install speed cushions on Parsells. Speed cushions are similar to speed bumps, but they leave channels that allow for large vehicles, such as buses and fire trucks, to pass unimpeded. The project was part of a Reconnect Rochester effort to start addressing some of Greater Rochester’s problematic roadways. Earlier this year, the transportation advocacy group asked communities to nominate trouble spots, one of which it would pick for a redesign. It received 90 nominations, covering 39 city locations and 11 suburban ones. Reconnect Rochester representatives reviewed factors such as crash and speed data as they picked a location for the redesign. Beechwood neighborhood leaders nominated three locations, but it was the Parsells-Greeley intersection that Reconnect
picked. They saw in it a chance to demonstrate how communities can do simple things to make their streets safer, says Renee Stetzer, the organization’s vice president of community outreach and the chair of its pedestrian safety committee. “These are things the city can do in other areas as well,” Beechwood residents worked with community organizations and the Stetzer says. city to temporarily modify the intersection of Parsells Avenue and Community Design Greeley Street in an attempt to slow down traffic on Parsells.

PSST. Can’t decide on where to eat?

Despite a bit of drama leading up to the New York state primary elections last week, the day turned out pretty much as expected. Voters may be disgusted with the state of the state’s politics, and rumors persist of a revolt within rankand-file Democrats, but for the most part, none of that was evident most of the election returns. The Democratic Party establishment won. Governor Andrew Cuomo will head the Democratic ticket on November 6, having overwhelmed his challenger in the primary, “Sex and the City” star and activist Cynthia Nixon. Cuomo’s running mate will be the person he wanted it to be, incumbent Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul. Letitia James was backed by key democrats across the state. (James took 40.6 percent of the vote, Zephyr Teachout 31 percent, Sean Patrick Maloney 25 percent, and Leecia Eve, 3.4 percent.)

And in Monroe County, former Democratic Party chair Jamie Romeo easily won her race to succeed Joe Morelle in the New York State Assembly. (Romeo won about 62 percent of the votes, according to the unofficial returns, Jaclyn Richard 26 percent, and Todd Grady 12 percent.)
Governor Andrew Cuomo campaigned hard but had no trouble defeating challenger Cynthia Nixon in the Democratic primary.
Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul survived a strong challenge by New York City Council member Jumaane Williams.

The results underscore how hard it is to challenge the political party establishment in New York. And Cuomo has become a particularly powerful force, backed in the primary not only by big donors but by also numerous unions and liberal activist groups, including some who had bitterly opposed him in the past. Toward the end of the campaign, Cuomo seemed to be deliberately trying to emphasize his worst characteristics. He rushed the opening of the bridge replacing the Tappan Zee. And when the state Democratic Party sent out an offensive, blatantly false mailer smearing Nixon, he insisted that his hands were perfectly clean. Democratic voters rewarded him with about 64 percent of the vote, according to the preliminary unofficial returns. (His Monroe County take: 60 percent.) Jumaane Williams, a New York City Council member who some observers thought might serve as a counter and a prod to the governor, ran a strong campaign for lieutenant governor. But thanks to voters in Western New York, Williams lost to Hochul, who’s from the Buffalo area. Williams received 42 percent of the votes to Hochul’s 48 percent. (In
Monroe County, Hochul won about 66 percent of the vote.) Cuomo still has to run in the November 6 general election. And in that race, in addition to Republican Marc Molinaro, Cynthia Nixon is on the ballot on the Working Families line. Theoretically, she could get more votes that day than she did in last week’s primary, since New Yorkers who are enrolled in third parties or in no party at all can vote in the general election. But the anti-establishment and progressive movement base is split three ways in that race. Also on the ballot are perennial Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins and former Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner, who is the candidate of the anticorruption, fiscal-responsibility Serve America Movement. The more interesting news from last week’s primary came from state Senate races, where there were some significant Democratic upsets that could have a real impact starting next year. Registered Democrats are actually in the majority in the Senate, 32 to 31. But one of them, Simcha Felder of Brooklyn, has caucused with the Republicans since joining the Senate in 2012. In addition,
some other Senate Democrats formed the Independent Democratic Caucus and have sided with Republicans. Together, they have kept Republicans in control of the Senate and blocked legislation that would provide stronger abortion rights protection, single-payer health care, and reforms of the state’s voting legislation. Last spring, Cuomo brokered a deal to lure the IDC Democrats back to the fold, but there’s no guarantee that Republicans wouldn’t lure them back. Last week, though, six of the eight members of the IDC lost to progressive Democratic challengers. Felder defeated his primary challenger last week, so Republicans could still maintain their one-vote control of the Senate. If Democrats pick up three Republican seats in the general election, though, that would give them enough to counter Felder and the two remaining IDC Democrats. In other Rochester-area races:
There’ll be a change on the Rochester school board come January. Three Democrats were running for two seats in their party’s primary: two incumbents, Melanie Funchess and Beatriz LeBron, who were appointed last January to succeed board members who left mid-term, and activist Judith Davis, an intellectual property specialist at Bausch + Lomb. The Board of Election’s unofficial results have LeBron placing first, with 36.77 percent of the vote; Davis second with 32.47 percent, and Funchess third, with 30.53 percent. The Republican Party isn’t running a candidate for school board, so in January Davis will join the board and LeBron will return. They’ll serve for a year but will have to run again in November 2019 for a full term. In the Democrats’ City Court primary, Michael Lopez, an assistant public defender, defeated attorney Gil Perez, 68 percent to 32 percent. Longtime Assembly member David Gantt prevailed against challenger Ann Lewis, receiving 58 percent of the vote. Gantt has no challenger in the November general election. And in a Republican Party primary for the 133rd state Assembly seat, challenger Marjorie Byrnes solidly defeated incumbent Joe Errigo, winning nearly 63 percent of the votes cast. She’ll face Democrat Barbara Baer in November.

Police oversight

separate from the RPD. The board would report to City Council. The board would have nine members, two appointed by the mayor, four appointed by City Council (one from each Council district), and three nominated by an alliance of community organization representatives and confirmed by Council. Members would be city residents and would reflect the diversity of the city population. The board would have a paid executive director, who could have no previous law-enforcement employment. The draft legislation calls for an annual budget of about $347,000 to $399,999. The board would have the power to investigate complaints about police conduct, issue subpoenas, and recommend discipline. It would establish a “disciplinary matrix,” outlining disciplinary actions to be applied in cases of misconduct. It would also have the power to review RPD “policies, procedures, patterns, practices, and training” and recommend changes. But final decisions about discipline would still be made by the police chief, and the Accountability Board’s investigation would not take place until after the RPD’s.
While some of the draft legislation is consistent with what reform activists have called for, there are key differences. Among the concerns raised by the Police Accountability Board Alliance, a coalition of reform activists: police officers would conduct the initial investigation into complaints, the police chief would determine officers’ discipline, and former police officers could be appointed to the board. Community representation on the board isn’t adequate, the group said, and the proposed funding isn’t sufficient. Longtime civil rights activist Lewis Stewart said he’s particularly concerned “that the new board can’t do its investigation until PSS completes its investigation.” Many people don’t trust the police and don’t want to be interviewed by them, Stewart said, which could mean fewer complaints are filed. And, Stewart said, the $300,000 proposed budget isn’t large enough. “It’s going to ensure the failure of the investigative body,” he said. In her press release on Monday, Council President Scott said Council will hold “multiple forums” on the proposed legislation. “The entire community needs to be involved in the creation of a Police Accountability Board,” she said, “and having a piece of legislation to review is a starting point for discussion.”

Resurrecting Blades [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY
When I mentioned to a friend of mine that I was writing about a new place called Blades, she quickly exclaimed, “THE Blades?!” For those that frequented the nightclub scene in the 1980s, Blades was apparently the place to be. Owner Sami Mina (of Aladdin’s, Pomodoro, and Saha Med Grill) opened Blades in 1983, and has decided to resurrect the name for his new venture that serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch in the space next to Pomodoro Grill & Wine Bar. Blades Diner (1290 University
Avenue), occupies the former space of Saha Med Grill, and has even kept a few of the dishes from Saha on the new menu. The diner’s breakfast and brunch menu includes standards like eggs and toast, but nods to the more healthconscious with the Acai Bowl ($9.50), a combination of Acai berry pulp, shaved coconut, berries, bananas, strawberries, granola, and honey. The avocado toast craze has not appeared to lose any momentum, and Blades’ version ($8) is served on thick-cut whole grain artisan toast with lemon
extra virgin olive oil, and topped with two basted eggs. Mina’s enthusiasm for this new venture extends to his staff, who are excited to share the new dishes with customers and to try all the dishes themselves. When creating the menu, Mina was sensitive to those with food allergies, therefore many of the dishes can be made glutenfree. Blades uses no peanut products; almond butter is substituted for peanut butter. Vegetarians will find plenty of options on the menu, as well. The Quinoa Bowl ($12) piles roasted vegetables, avocado, and Pico de Gallo on top of quinoa. The Pomodoro Quinoa ($12) combines Italian sausage, spinach, tomato, basil pesto, parmesan and quinoa. Beer and wine is served at Blades, with a variety of mimosas available for $7, and a Sake Bloody Mary ($6). Mina will soon start roasting his own coffee in house as well. Outdoor seating is available (weather permitting), and there is plenty of parking both in front and on the side of the building. Blades does not take reservations.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26 JCC’S CENTERSTAGE THEATRE, 1200 EDGEWOOD AVENUE 7:30 P.M. | $25-$55 | JCCROCHESTER.ORG; MARTINBARRE.COM [ ROCK ] The flute wasn’t the only instrument fueling
legendary English rock band Jethro Tull. Guitarist Martin Barre was behind the riffs for more than four decades before the group broke up in 2014. Barre’s playing style is rooted in blues, but includes an amalgam of other genres. Fittingly, his guitar technique on the most iconic of all Tull songs “Aqualung” uses barre chords. Barre and his band perform the classics, along with his own compositions and new songs from the forthcoming album, “Roads Less Traveled.” — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR
“Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY” TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 KODAK HALL AT EASTMAN THEATRE, 60 GIBBS STREET 8 P.M. | $24-$106 RPO.ORG; FFDISTANTWORLDS.COM [ CLASSICAL ] Few video game franchises are as enduring or iconic as Final Fantasy. The same can be said for the series’ musical scores — the first nine of which were solely composed by Nobuo Uematsu (he also contributed to the music in subsequent games from the series). The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra last performed music from the series in 2015, with great success. Led by conductor Arnie Roth, the ensemble will again interpret Uematsu’s streamlined orchestration and effortless, wind-blown melodies this coming Tuesday at Kodak Hall. And once again, the performance will feature HD video from the series’ developers Square Enix, melding the rich visual world of Final Fantasy with evocative symphonic colors. — BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

King 20/20
ACOUSTIC/FOLK Eli & Adrien. Sticky Lips BBQ Juke Joint, 830 Jefferson Rd. 292-5544. 6:30 p.m.
If there is one thing I take away from the alternative hip-hop album “CMFRTBL,” it’s that King 20/20 is an open, honest rapper. In 14 tracks, he tackles today’s mental, emotional and political oppression, whether it makes you feel comfortable or not — all while strategically lightening the mood with self-produced party beats.

Voices SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 ASBURY FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, 1050 EAST AVENUE 3 P.M. | FREE | ERCHOIRS.ORG/VOICES1 [ CLASSICAL ] Voices begins its tenth anniversary season this Sunday afternoon. Under the direction of Music Director William Weinert, Rochester’s professional chamber chorus will present a Renaissance-era program titled “Sing Out, My Tongue”. The main work, and the concert’s namesake, is Josquin des Prés’ “Pange Lingua” Mass--a masterpiece of the Renaissance, but rarely heard in live performance. Josquin built his mass on one of the great Gregorian hymns, “Pange Lingua,” and it combines a careful, detailed structure with bold, virtuosic musical flourishes. A mass for the masses, you might say. The rest of the Voices program will offer pure vocal bliss, in the form of motets by Josquin and his 15thand 16th-century contemporaries Ludwig Senfl, Johannes Ockeghem, and Jean Mouton. — BY DAVID RAYMOND
Magic Beans TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 FUNK ‘N WAFFLES, 204 NORTH WATER STREET 8 P.M. | $10 | FUNKNWAFFLES.COM; MAGICBEANSMUSIC.COM [ FUNK ] Denver’s Magic Beans is a four-piece jam band that
gives a refreshing take on funk by fusing it with progressive rock and soul. Formed in 2010, Magic Beans has released two live and two studio albums--including its newest collection, “Casino Cabaret,” released last March. Vocalist and guitarist Scott Hachey has an easygoing, warm voice — similar to Tom Eddy of The Dip – complemented by the dense vocal harmonies of keyboardist Casey Russell and bassist Chris Duffy. The percussive bass lines and conversational guitar parts are welded together by Cody Wales’ Energizer bunny-level drums, busily weaving in and out of experimental polyrhythms and clever, stop-time hits. Magic Beans is a powerhouse party band, from busy choruses to spacey breakdowns that build back up into climactic vortexes of sound. — BY KATIE HALLIGAN
The title track, featuring Ryan Cycles, dwells on self-love, motivation, and confidence. King dives into becoming comfortable with himself, and he won’t let anyone or anything get in the way. “Braindead,” also featuring Cycles, is a bass-heavy, anti-Trump anthem that, as stated in the song, “you can shake your ass to.” Many recent rappers have their politically-driven protest tracks, but usually they get heavy. This song has a less suffocating, lighthearted club feel while still questioning the current powers that be. Throughout this entire record, the listener gets to know the real King 20/20 as a rapper, producer — and most importantly — a thoughtful artist. That’s why this album is so engaging to anybody who listens. “CMFRTBL” is available on iTunes and Spotify. — BY AMANDA FINTAK
Alex Northrup
“The Great Mundane” Proof That the Seacow Exists! Records alexnorthrup.bandcamp.com
Though songwriter Alex Northrup released “The Great Mundane” back in 2017, it hasn’t seen much light-of-day until now, with the emergence of the Jon Lewis Band keyboardist as frontman of the newly formed band Alex Northrup and The Backup. The album’s music feels steeped in rock history, both recent and decades in the past. While Northrup’s “everyman” voice and melodic sensibility make him sound a bit like Jeff Tweedy’s twin, the conversational approach to rhythm and vocal phrasing recalls Lou Reed. The album drips with adoration for the classic rock ‘n’ roll sound, particularly when it comes to Northrup’s rich palette of vintage keyboard sounds. Yet for all the throwback vibes, the music doesn’t get weighed down by nostalgia. Even when wistfully recalling the past, Northrup looks ahead to the possibilities of being in the moment. “The Great Mundane” is the kind of album you find yourself automatically popping into the player, and the repeat listens only add to the allure. — BY DANIEL J.

Record sales are no longer the foremost metric for music industry success in this Information Age. But thriving in arts and entertainment has always meant offering an engaging live element as well. Modern technology affords us the ability to create content and collaborate, entirely in digital space. For Gold Koa, an indie-pop trio founded in Rochester, the work goes on even while bandmates are on opposite sides of the country. In January, the group released its first single, “Little Lost.” Almost a year later, the group is preparing to play their first live set as part of the 2018 Rochester Fringe Festival. Gold Koa began taking shape in the summer of 2012, when producer, drummer and multi-instrumentalist Matt Battle met singer-songwriter Cammy Enaharo at the open mic she had been hosting at Boulder Coffee in the South Wedge. Amid their burgeoning friendship, they recorded a song called “Turning Leaves,” which they’ve reimagined with Gold Koa, to be released soon. In autumn of that same year, Battle was attending 12 CITY SEPTEMBER 19 - 25, 2018
Finger Lakes Community College, studying music production. He had been looking for a bassist to play with when he met Kamara Robideau, a guitar student looking to play bass in a band. Over the next year, a demo for what would become “Little Lost” formed between Battle and Robideau. In 2014, Enaharo began to contribute to the song and breathe new life into it. After sharing with Enaharo what they were building, her “vocals and lyrics immediately fit the vibe and enhanced everything about the music,” Battle recalls via email. “We did a handful of sessions to flesh out the arrangement and create context for the vocals. By the end of it all, ‘Little Lost’ was born.” In 2017, Battle and Robideau moved to Los Angeles, where they work in media and do various session work. The two are no strangers to collaborating online. Aside from working with Los Angeles bands and projects, Battle collaborates with Rochester-based artists online, exchanging ideas and material via phone calls, texts and video chats. He recently wrapped production on albums for Rochester bands Calicoco and Great Red. Battle and Robideau also play in another Rochesterborn project called Oh Manitou. Gold Koa’s music is generally produced layer by layer in the studio. “Usually Kamara and I try to have a rough arrangement of an idea solidified before showing Cammy,” says Battle. Enaharo then typically adds melodies and lyrics, with her bandmates providing feedback.

“In a way, we’re kind of producing each other, but the lines blur quickly.” The trio’s eclectic influences are apparent in “Little Lost.” Battle says his style is in large part influenced by the West Coast culture he spent his teens and early twenties enjoying — artists like Thundercat and Little Dragon. Robideau has spent time studying and transcribing the music of Paul Simon and John Wizards. Enaharo cites songwriters like SZA and Regina Spektor as inspirations. So far, the group’s style is an amalgam of electronic timbres, hook-driven motifs, and diverse instrumentation. The developing palette features a fresh lyrical approach, evocative harmonic intuition, and astute arrangements — all of which evoke a sense of optimistic wanderlust. Fans of artists like Fleet Foxes, Wild Nothing or Lorde will appreciate Gold Koa’s nascent aesthetic. Looking forward, the trio is planning an EP release in early 2019, followed by more live shows. You can hear “Little Lost” on Bandcamp, Soundcloud and Spotify. It features Oh Manitou’s Andrew Links on keyboards and Chris Potter on guitar, who will be joining Gold Koa on stage at Rochester Fringe Festival. Gold Koa’s first performance is on Friday, September 21st, 8 p.m. at the Rochester Fringe Festival on the Gibbs Street stage. Free show

With just a few days left in this year’s Rochester Fringe, we’re taking a look back at some of the shows our critics dug. Though Fringe ends on Saturday, it’s not losing steam — there’s a cluster of cool-looking one-off performances toward the end of the week. Read on for some of the highlights from our coverage (For the full reviews and many more, visit our Daily Fringe Blogs page at rochestercitynewspaper.com). Leading up to Fringe there was some skepticism from the community regarding choral group First Inversion’s production of “Holding On through Song: A Celebration of the African-American Spiritual.” Local activist Christopher Coles led an online discussion, questioning if a mostly white chorus should sing these songs, and some people called for the show to be cancelled. First Inversion director Lee Wright met with Coles and with community groups,
including Standing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), and held additional auditions. Amanda Chestnut wrote that last Thursday’s performance was “a gut-wrenching, educational, and emotional performance of spirituals that truly rang out to heavens and called down the Ancestors” and that “Wright took the audience to church. But he also packaged a lesson of the brutality of slavery and the continued suppression of people of color, and handed it to the audience with sincerity and confidence.” “Holding On through Song” will not be performed again during this Fringe. Also on Thursday, Leah Stacy checked out Theatre Apparatus’s production of Caryl Churchill’s 2012 play “Love and Information” at School of the Arts. With more than 10 characters performed by a cast of six, the script is “filled with heady, existential commentary on love, lust, lies, data — and how humans process those concepts,” she wrote. On opening night things were slightly rough, she
said: “The production’s quickly paced dialogue and lofty concepts sometimes race ahead of the cast’s abilities, but particularly impressive is the (seemingly) youngest cast member, Maddy Feldman, who performs with clear motivations and palpable emotion.” “Love and Information” will be performed again on Friday, September 21, at School of the Arts: Black Box Theatre. 5 p.m. $10. Appropriate for ages 13 and older. Adam Lubitow enjoyed OFC’s production of “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” on Saturday night at Lyric Theatre. “Any staging of this show is only as good as its Hedwig,” he wrote, “and this production has a great one in Hector Manuel, playing the rock diva with a sly smirk and a leggy strut. The young actor seems to be having a blast playing the larger-than-life character.” “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” will be performed again on Thursday, September 20, 7 p.m.; and Friday, September 21, 7 p.m. at Lyric Theatre: Cabaret Hall. $10-$13. Appropriate for ages 13 and older.

Robert Pattinson in “High Life,” which recently screened at the Toronto International Film Festival. PHOTO COURTESY TIFF
Dispatches from TIFF [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
Just across the shores of Lake Ontario, our neighbors to the north host one of the largest and most prestigious film festivals in the world: the Toronto International Film Festival. TIFF came to a close this past weekend, a sure sign that we’re fully into fall prestige movie season. This year’s lineup had plenty of cinematic goodies to offer, a number of which will be rolling out to theaters before the year comes to a close. Special shout-outs to “If Beale Street Could Talk,” “A Star Is Born,” and “Widows,” which were among my favorites, but I’m waiting to discuss them until they make their way to local theaters. What follows is a look at just a few of the films I was able to sample during my brief time up north. A 14-year-old boy (Ed Oxenbould) in 1960s Montana observes the breakdown of his
parents’ (played by Carrie Mulligan and Jake Gyllenhaal) marriage, in the moving domestic drama “Wildlife.” Making his directorial debut, actor Paul Dano demonstrates a keen sensitivity as a storyteller and (perhaps unsurprisingly) a remarkable way with his actors. Mulligan in particular delivers one of her finest performances. “Long Day’s Journey Into Night” follows the return of Luo Hongwu (Huang Jue) to his hometown of Kaili City in China for his father’s funeral. By night, he searches the city’s streets for his long-lost love, and writerdirector Gan Bi’s makes his journey a dreamy, neon-tinged marvel. But it reaches another level entirely in its second half, which consists of a bravura hour-long 3D sequence, shot in one continuous take. In “Capharnaum,” a 12-year-old boy growing up in the slums of Beirut sues his
parents for allowing him to be born. As director Nadine Labaki rewinds to show us the brutal and chaotic life of young Zain (Zain Alrafeea), the film constantly seems on the brink of exploitation. But it stays mostly on the right side of that line thanks in large part to Alrafeea’s unforgettable, deeply empathetic performance. From the weird, twisted mind of “The Duke of Burgundy” director Peter Strickland, the gonzo “In Fabric” follows the misfortunes that befall customers of a demonic department store when one of its haunted dresses comes into their possession. Marianne Jean-Baptiste is great as the first victim, though the film loses some steam when it switches to a second story. But it’s still an odd, singular vision that feels like something you might stumble across while flipping channels late at night and the
next morning aren’t entirely sure you didn’t hallucinate into existence. Receiving a local release this past weekend, “Where Hands Touch” tells the story of a biracial girl (an excellent Amandla Stenberg) struggling for survival in World War II-era Germany, who ends up falling in love with the white son of a Nazi officer. I admire director Amma Asante (“Belle”) for focusing on the little-known plight of black Germans during the Holocaust; I just wished the story she’d come up with didn’t follow the familiar beats of a World War II drama quite so closely. Brady Corbett’s “Vox Lux” stars Natalie Portman as a pop music diva who ascends to stardom while overcoming a dark tragedy in her past. The story interrogates the intersection of pop culture and terrorism, tossing a lot of ideas at the audience — from the commodification of pain to the roots of artistic expression — that don’t quite come together, but it’s a fascinating, often disturbing ride while it lasts. My favorite film of the festival was Alfonso Cuarón’s “Roma,” the director’s semiautobiographical tale chronicling a year in the life of a middle-class family in Mexico City during the 1970s. A sense of warmth can be difficult to achieve in black and white, but Cuarón succeeds, crafting a loving tribute to the strong women who raised him. Designated as Mexico’s official Oscar submission, Netflix has a theatrical release planned, and I sincerely hope that it extends beyond New York and LA because the film’s gorgeous widescreen photography just won’t be the same when viewed at home. The first English-language film from French filmmaker Claire Denis, “High Life” is also the esteemed director’s first stab at science fiction, following a colony of prisoners (including Robert Pattinson, Mia Goth, and André 3000) aboard a spacecraft hurtling into the farthest reaches of space, on a mission to harness the power of black holes as a potential energy source. Juliette Binoche is also aboard, playing a mad scientist using the prisoners for her own experiments in the arena of procreation. Not surprising for Denis, the filmmaker defies genre conventions at every turn, crafting a sad, strange, and occasionally bonkers look at the effects of isolation on the human experience.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 22 ] [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY THE EDITORS AT ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION
New World Order Kimberel Eventide, 36, believes her purpose here on Earth is to help other humans become elves, just like herself. A resident of Illinois, Eventide identifies as a Pleiadian Starseed, an Otherkin who first realized she was an elf after reading and watching the "Lord of the Rings" series by J.R.R. Tolkien. She spends her time dressing as an elf in silk, velvet or nature-inspired clothing and pointed elf ears -- but she doesn't wear them all the time because "my own ears have a slight point to them."
Eventide's husband supports her elfdom but "he does not understand it and does not watch many of my videos," she said. "I am an Elven spiritual teacher who offers personal Skype online sessions to help individual souls," she explained to the Daily Mail. Her mission, called "Projectelvenstar," is specifically to help humans transform themselves into High Elves -- "ears are optional but can become a byproduct of becoming extrasensory and hearing better over time." rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 27

FALL GUIDE 2018
RELISHING THE
SEASON
[ INTRODUCTION ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
Crisp air, changing leaves, cider donuts, and apple picking: there are few things on Earth better than fall in Western New York. And I’m not just saying that because I’m ready to sustain myself on pumpkinspice everything and already have a sweet Halloween costume picked out: It’s because fall is when our city’s amazing arts community kick off their new seasons. As sweater weather approaches, here’s a preview of what to look forward to in the Rochester world of dance, music, art, theater, food, and film. Rebecca Rafferty offers a guide to the coming season in art galleries and museums. It’s a season with an abundance of exhibits dealing with complicated, contemporary issues. Daniel Kushner swings through the season of Rochester’s dance companies before joining David Raymond to preview the year in classical music. Because hard cider is delicious, writer Kathy Laluk explores some area cideries, the booming hard cider scene, and what goes into making that wonderful, magical elixir. Leah Stacy shines a spotlight on what’s being staged over the next few months at our area theater companies. And I’m offering coming attractions for what film treats are in store at your local movie theater. We want to hear from our readers, so let us know what arts events you’re most excited to experience this fall. Visit our website, rochestercitynewspaper. com, or find us on Facebook (facebook. com/citynewspaper), and on Twitter and Instagram (@roccitynews).

Exploring the 2018-19 arts season [ PREVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY
One of the valuable things about art, in its many forms, is that it serves as a crucial entry point for difficult discussions. We’re faced with social and political strife that feels more urgent every day, and while it’s important to be engaged, it can be challenging to discuss the issues and avoid conflict. While art moves the audience, it educates, and connects us to the experiences of others. What are our common and unique struggles? This arts season, you’ll find no shortage of exhibits and events that tackle complicated issues. There’s also a load of fun-looking exhibits that more simply showcase a depth and breadth of artistic practice and interests. Here’s a preview of some of the intriguing shows and arts events that Rochester’s museums and galleries are presenting through early 2019. And this is only a sampling of what’s to come, so look for more info about scheduled shows on individual websites, and check out CITY Newspaper in print and online. 4 CITY

If you’ve missed out on Rachel DeGuzman’s powerful “At the Crossroads: Activating the Intersection of Art and Justice” series, it’s time to change that. Held since the fall of 2017, the series spotlights a variety of important social and political issues and focuses on the intersection of race and gender. Upcoming events in the series are “Black and Disabled” on October 7, “Capitalism and Democracy” on October 27, and “Stay in Your Own Back Yard” on January 18, 2019. Events typically start with a series of short artistic provocations – films, installations, poetry readings, and the like – followed by discussion. This year’s series is hosted at Gallery 74 (215 Tremont Street). Registration for each event is $15. Learn more about the series, past events, and what’s coming up at facebook.com/ artandjusticeROC.

"Monet's Waterloo Bridge: Vision and Process" at Memorial Art Gallery. PHOTO PROVIDED
French Impressionist Claude Monet was known for repeatedly painting a specific vista at different times of day and night and capturing the way light, humidity, and other atmospheric conditions altered the look of the place. Monet created different series on Rouen Cathedral, on his gardens at Giverny, and on a specific bridge over the Thames River, which is the subject of “Monet’s Waterloo Bridge: Vision and Process,” on view at the Memorial Art Gallery (500 University Avenue) from October 7 through January 6, 2019. The exhibition showcases eight of Monet’s 40 paintings of the site, including the MAG’s own jewel-like version and seven others borrowed from North American sister institutions. A companion exhibit held concurrently, “Seeing in Color and Black-andWhite,” features work by Josef Albers, Victor Vasarely, Jesús Rafael Soto, and others who created abstractions that reveal the mechanics of human vision. Next up at MAG, from December 13 through March 31, 2019, is “Modern Czech Photography: A Portfolio,” a body of work by mid-century Czech master photographers including Jaromír Funke and Josef Sudek. Published in 1942, the portfolio was produced during the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia.

Brandreth’s Phantasmagoria Presents: Seeing Shadows,” featuring new work that plays off the spooky ideas he worked with in last year’s “Unadulterated Overkill” group exhibit. Brandreth creates hand-constructed viewing boxes for his glass plate photographs that depict dreamt-up scenes that appear pulled from old-timey horror films. The show will also feature props and masks that he used for the photo shoots, a looped short film, and a book. An artist’s talk will be held on October 21, and the show will remain on view through November.

The Project Gallery at George Eastman Museum (900 East Avenue) through January
1, 2019, is exhibiting Gail Albert Halaban’s “Out My Window,” a series of large-scale photographs made with the cooperation of Halaban’s neighbors. Feeling isolated when she relocated from New York City to Los Angeles, Halaban used her work as a way to engage with others by asking for their participation in her project. Her images, shot from one window and capturing interiors and people through windows across the way, depict individuals going about their lives in their private spaces. The result is a dreamy, intimate look at folks reading or cooking food, families celebrating a birthday, and couples relaxing together; small portals of activity surrounded by otherwise still, empty cityscapes. In the museum’s Main Galleries, “David Levinthal: War, Myth, Desire” continues through January 1, 2019, a major retrospective of work spanning Levinthal’s four-decade career and many bodies of work. Following that, from January 25 through June 9, 2019, the Main Galleries will host “Nathan Lyons: In Pursuit of Magic,” featuring a retrospective of the life and work of the Visual Studies Workshop founder, writer, photographer,

curator, and educator, who died in 2016. Concurrently, the museum’s Project Gallery will host “Larson Shindelman,” which is also the name of the artistic collective formed by Nate Larson and Marni Shindelman. Known for their series “Geolocation,” the duo create photographs and immersive installations using publicly available GPS info embedded in social media posts to track the location of the users. Each resulting photograph depicts the location while it reacts to the content of the post, and much of their work forms a commentary on social media and the intersection of public and private realms, race relations, gun violence, politics, and issues of social justice. For this exhibit, the Eastman Museum invited the two to create a body of work specific to Rochester, using locally trending hashtags. George Eastman Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $5$15, and free to members and children ages 4 and younger. 271-3361; eastman.org.
The Strong National Museum of Play’s new interactive exhibit, “Be the

On view at the museum (1 Manhattan Square) through January 7, 2019, the exhibit lets visitors of all ages plan a space mission, learn about the tech and math skills required to be an astronaut, fly spaceships, pilot landers, and drive rovers (in simulation, of course). It also features real meteorites from space, memorabilia from the Soviet space program and Apollo Space Race, full-size spacesuits, and more.

SOUNDS UNEXPECTED [ CLASSICAL PREVIEW ] BY DAVID RAYMOND AND DANIEL J. KUSHNER
The 2018-19 classical-music season has no shortage of big-name artists with top-tier talent performing beloved works from the classical canon. But there are also plenty of surprising performances, with fresh programming featuring cutting-edge musicians and contemporary compositions you should definitely know. The balance between familiar fare and underperformed gems is what makes this season compelling. The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra will open its season on September 13 and 15, with music director Ward Stare conducting a firstrate pianist, Yefim Bronfman, in Prokofiev’s barn-burning Second Concerto. Even more interesting is the concert the following week, a varied all-American affair on September 20 and 22: a repeat of Jennifer Higdon’s delightful harp concerto - which the RPO premiered last year with soloist Yolanda Kondonassis - will be recorded both nights; Samuel Barber’s Symphony No. 1 and Patrick Harlin’s “Rapture,” both of which made a very good impression when Stare conducted 10 CITY FALL GUIDE 2018
them in 2017; and Aaron Copland’s “Rodeo.” That concert will be rounded out by Leonard Bernstein’s spoofy “Divertimento,” one of three entries this fall in the RPO’s continuing salute to Lenny’s 100th birthday (the others will be music from “On the Town” and the “Chichester Psalms”). The RPO’s programming for 2018-19 contains many other goodies. In October, pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet will join Stare for an all-Gershwin concert, and in the spring Stare will conduct two large-scale symphonies not heard much in Rochester – Mahler’s Seventh and Shostakovich’s Tenth – along with a concert performance of Mozart’s fascinating opera “Così fan tutte.” $24-$106 single tickets. 454-2100. rpo.org Pegasus Early Music will start out its season festively on September 16 with a Baroque Miscellany bringing back many favorite performers, but its November 4 concert really sounds like something special – a salute to Venetian Baroque composers, with an emphasis on the remarkable vocal music of

Barbara Strozzi. As it did a couple of years ago, Pegasus will conclude its season with a short Baroque-era opera sung in English, Handel’s “Acis and Galatea.” $28, seniors $22, students $10. 703-3990. pegasusearlymusic.org Rochester is lucky to have not just one but two early music series, the other being the long-established Publick Musick. For its first concert on October 13, RPO cellist Chris Haritatos, Publick Musick’s artistic codirector (along with his wife Boel Gidholm) promises “a cello-centric program” with upand-coming cellist Beiliang Zhu, joined by Haritatos himself. Spring will bring guest soprano Yetzabel Arias Fernandez in a program of Neapolitan cantatas and concerti, as well as a Third Thursday concert at the Memorial Art Gallery. $20, student/low income $10, 17 and under free. 244-5835. publickmusick.org The Society for Chamber Music in Rochester furthers its reputation for engaging programming from the get-go.

Strauss and Antonin Dvoràk, along with the Oboe Quintet by British composer Sir Arnold Bax - featuring one of the Society’s co-directors, RPO Principal Oboe Erik Behr. The season will also include salutes to “Mozart in Paris” and the SCMR’s traditional and very popular Baroque/jazz concert. $35. 624-1301. chambermusicrochester.org Through sheer scope alone, Eastman School of Music’s numerous series are impressive. That variety will be accentuated by a seemingly endless lineup of dynamic performers. Below are just a handful of the highlights for this season. Soprano Dawn Upshaw is a singular titan of vocal music. Throughout her nearly 35-year career, the singer has both interpreted canonical roles by the likes of Mozart and created roles in influential operas by living composers such as John Adams, Kaija Saariaho, John Harbison, and Osvaldo Golijov. She’ll bring that tremendous experience to Eastman School of Music’s Kilbourn Hall on October 9. $29-$40. Eastman Opera Theatre continues to be a bastion for contemporary opera in Rochester. This season, the troupe will present Ricky Ian Gordon’s “The Tibetan Book of the Dead: The 12 CITY FALL GUIDE 2018
Great Liberation Through Hearing” November 1 through 4 in Kilbourn Hall, in what amounts to a staged, Buddhist oratorio about the steps the soul takes after death. The chamber opera may be a departure for audiences looking for more of the historical repertoire, but if Eastman Opera’s past productions are any indication, this will be a beautiful, thought-provoking presentation. $24. Renowned international violin soloist Leila Josefowicz will be joined by pianist John Novacek in Kilbourn Hall on November 13. The recital will include Prokofiev’s First Violin Sonata, a second sonata from edgy 20th century composer Bernd Alois Zimmermann, plus music by Sibelius, Mahler, and Saariaho. $29-$40. What do you get when you combine the sounds of two quintessential instruments from very different yet hallowed musical traditions? In the case of Yumi Kurosawa’s Japanese koto and Anubrata Chatterjee’s India tabla, the result is mesmerizing. The plucked strings of the koto create an exotic, almost ambient quality, complemented beautifully by the intricate, pitter-patter rhythms of the percussive tabla. If you like world music featuring unlikely instrument pairings, this February 8 performance of
Yumi Kurosawa and Anubrata Chatterjee in Kilbourn Hall is for you. $29. For those concertgoers seeking unadorned yet evocative piano music, Eastman’s Fernando Laires Piano Series in Kilbourn Hall will have plenty to offer this season. The February 21 performance featuring Lilya Zilberstein may turn out to be the most electrifying in the series. In addition to Zilberstein’s decisive technical precision, it’s the piano soloist’s charismatic energy that makes her concerts so dynamic. $45. Joshua Bell is one of the most recognized and beloved American violinists today. Bell will return to Rochester and Eastman Theatre’s Kodak Hall on April 12 to collaborate with the Eastman Philharmonia and visiting conductor David Zinman. Together, they will present a prominent showpiece in the violin virtuoso’s repertoire: Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1. A technically demanding, even athletic concerto, the performance is sure to be a thrilling highlight of the season. $71.

Selections from the regional season in dance [ DANCE PREVIEW ] BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER
From African and Caribbean dance to ballet, Rochester has a community of prodigiously talented movement artists who are constantly defining and redefining what contemporary dance can be. Here’s a non-comprehensive look at six highlights from the upcoming 201819 season, featuring some of the city’s most beloved performers and choreographers. PUSH Physical Theatre is a perennial powerhouse. The Rochester-based troupe transcends dance performance by embracing 14 CITY FALL GUIDE 2018
the versatile physicality of the human form and imagining inanimate objects with that same, free-flowing movement. Founded by Darren and Heather Stevenson, PUSH engages and challenges the audience’s imagination, and its performances at this year’s Rochester Fringe Festival on September 15, 20, and 22 will be no different. Marking the group’s seventh set of Fringe performances, the program will balance between time-tested PUSH classics and newer works premiered last season — including

half a century. Perhaps best known for his work on the smash hit musical “The Lion King,” influential choreographer Garth Fagan’s vision is still clear and strong, and will be showcased December 5 through 9 at Nazareth Arts Center’s Callahan Theater.

Rochester City Ballet and its artistic director David Palmer are to be applauded for their efforts in making dance programming accessible to the community, rejecting stodgy premises in favor of interesting pop-culture signifiers that can provide a path to ballet for newcomers. Last season, Palmer paired Stravinsky’s game-changing ballet “Rite of Spring” with “Under the Moonlight,” an homage to the music of the late avant-pop icon David Bowie. This season, Palmer and company will present the story of “Dangerous Liaisons” as a multimedia-infused dance performance. The plot has seen numerous 16 CITY FALL GUIDE 2018
movie adaptations since the publication of the 18th century source novel by Choderlos de Laclos, including the 1999 film “Cruel Intentions.” “Dangerous Liaisons” is a timeless story of deception, seduction, and romance gone awry, and Rochester City Ballet will perform it on March 22 through 24 at Nazareth Arts Center. $37-$100. 389-2170. rochestercityballet.org; naz.edu/arts-center. In addition to its enduring tradition of contemporary dance, SUNY Brockport’s Department of Dance is also home to Sankofa African Dance and Drum Ensemble. Led by Artistic Director Jenise Akilah Anthony and Music Director Khalid Abdul N’Fally Saleem, the group explores the rich and diverse cultural legacy of Africa, whether through traditional stagings or reimagined performances drawing on contemporary stories and dance vocabulary. Sankofa will present a run of performances at Hartwell Dance Theatre from May 2 through 5. $5-$17. 395-2787. brockport.edu/ academics/dance/sankofa.

APPLE OF YOUR EYE Craft cider (regular and alcoholic) make a comeback
Muller's Cider House
FILE PHOTO
18 CITY FALL GUIDE 2018
we press a bunch of Crispins, they’re freakin’ juice monsters,” Schutt says. “We’ll get 70 to 75 gallons for a bin of those. But with our Russet cider, which is made from Golden Russet apples, that will only give me about 50 gallons per bin, because it’s a dryer apple.” Schutt’s uses a rack-and-cloth method of making cider. Apples are distributed evenly onto a rack inside a basin. They then wrap each layer in a cloth, add another rack and repeat the process. This is done until the stack is high enough to just fit underneath a large metal press, which then pushes down, squeezing out the juice and pulverizing the apples. The juice is then pumped into a basin and in the case of Schutt’s, run through a filtration system. Schutt’s doesn’t use any additives for preservation, like some bigger cider makers. “You have to treat our cider like milk,” Schutt says. “It has a shelf life and it’s pretty short, but I think it’s worth it. In my mind, adding a chemical is unnatural, and it changes the aftertaste.” As with practically every cider mill, fall is the busy season, with Schutt estimating sales around 100,000 gallons per weekend in a typical fall. While that may seem like a lot, Schutt says he is focused on staying local and staying on the smaller side. “We’re not a wholesale business model,” he says, adding that they do send some of their cider to smaller places like Pittsford Dairy and Hart’s Local Grocers.
[ DRINK ] BY KATHY LALUK
Over the past 10 to 15 years, Rochester has pretty much cemented its status as a craft beer town, with new breweries cropping up like Starbucks on every corner. But more subtly, for the past seven or eight years, so too has the craft cider market, bringing as much variety in its flavors as beer. New York is Number 2 on the list of apple-producing states in the US (behind Washington), but the apples that are best for making hard cider are only starting to make a comeback. Once prohibition happened, trees bearing cider-making apples, which weren’t great for eating, were cut down and replaced with trees bearing eating apples and dessertmaking apples, explains Patrick Jaouen, co-owner of Muller’s Cider House (1344 University Avenue). Jaouen grew up in France around what he calls “good cider,” and a desire to bring that to Rochester prompted him and friend Sam Conjerti to open Muller’s almost three years ago. “Prohibition basically set hard cider-making in the US back to square one,” Jaouen says. “About seven or eight years ago, some cider makers started planting more cider-making apples, and this craft movement of cider started to happen. It’s basically like the Wild West now. United States cider makers are trying to find their foothold in the market, experimenting with all kinds of flavors – blood orange, ginger, currant, rosé, Rieslings, hops, and so on.” Muller’s has more than 100 different kinds of ciders from around the world in bottles, but their draft menu is largely made up of ciders from New York State. “We want to bring attention to the quality of craft cider in our state,” Conjerti says. “But we also want to expose people to ciders from Europe and around the world that are different.” Being different is something the owners of
Seed and Stone Cidery, based in Rochester, are striving for. About a year ago, Bill Bly convinced his daughter Chris to move back home from LA, where she’d been working in the film and TV industry, to start a cidery. Bill had been a home brewer for years, but wasn’t satisfied by the ciders he saw on the market. “To me, it’s too sweet,” he says. “It’s got too many other fruits and spices and whatever, and I wanted more traditional ciders, like what you might find in Europe.” Seed and Stone makes traditional dry ciders, some of which are ‘still’ (without carbonation). “We only make cider at harvest time, because a lot of the apples we use don’t fare well in cold storage,” Bill says. “We ferment and age slowly over the winter, and then in late spring we bottle.” He compares their process to

that of making white wine, to a certain extent. While they don’t have a tasting room (yet), their four current ciders are available at about two dozen small local grocers, liquor stores, and some restaurants. They also do tastings at special events, including Western New York Cider Week and the upcoming Finger Lakes Cider Week (September 28-October 8). Bill and Chris get their apples from Williamson and use a variety of types, depending on the cider and desired flavor profile they’re chasing after. Among the kinds they use are English bittersweet apples, heirloom apples, and some dessert apples. “We try to focus on apples that people haven’t necessarily tried before.” The movement of craft cider isn’t limited just
to the alcoholic version of the drink. More and

more, traditional cider makers are focusing on the kinds of flavors they can achieve. “Just like in cooking, the more ingredients you add, the more complex the flavor,” says Evan Schutt of Schutt’s Apple Mill (1063 Plank Road). The Webster institution is marking 100 years in business this fall. And despite a century of being run by his family, Schutt says they don’t have specific recipes that have been handed down. “It’s more just an attention to detail,” he says. “Over the years, we’ve learned what kinds of apples make what flavors. After that, it’s what’s fresh and what’s available. We know that some apples are tarter, so we’ll backsweeten it with Golden Delicious, and we’ll know about what kind of flavor to expect.” A bushel of apples makes roughly 3.2 gallons of cider. But the amount varies depending on the type and size of apples. “If
Latta Road), they follow a similar process. Co-owner Joe Edmond says once the cider is made, they use a UV process rather than pasteurization, because “we don’t want to mess with the flavor in any way, shape or form.” Both processes are aimed at eliminating any potential harmful bacteria in the cider. Pasteurizing requires the cider be heated to 160 degrees Fahrenheit briefly, before being cooled back down, while the UV treatment is a nonthermal process in which the cider is exposed to UV light to kill harmful bacteria. All ciders sold in New York are required to undergo one of these processes. Both Schutt and Edmond say their main focus is on non-alcoholic cider, although Schutt has started to branch out a bit with hard cider. Schutt sends his apples and recipes to Rootstock Ciderworks in Marion, which brews two hard ciders for him. Those brews are featured in Schutt’s newly expanded tasting room, along with a handful of other local hard ciders from places like Embark Craft Ciderworks (Williamson) and Blue Toad Hard Cider (Henrietta). “The people that are making hard cider are so creative,” Schutt says. “There’s really something out there for everyone. The flavors are so complex now. And if you’ve written it off in the past, you shouldn’t anymore.” rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 19
CHANGES & STANDARDS Looking ahead to the 2018-19 theatrical season
[ THEATER PREVIEW ] BY LEAH STACY
RBTL brings the recent Broadway hit “Waitress” to the Auditorium Theatre in June. PHOTO PROVIDED
The past few years in local theater have brought many changes, from startup companies and fresh artistic leadership to a renewed focus on diverse casting and female-fronted projects. This season’s performances will reflect a good bit of that change, as well as a number of plays that have been staged on Broadway recently. Blackfriars Theatre, which continues to offer new-to-the-area shows each 20 CITY FALL GUIDE 2018
season, kicked off the year with the winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, “Anna in the Tropics,” by Nilo Cruz. The play is set in 1929 in Tampa’s cigar industry, which was largely staffed by Cuban immigrants, and centers around a catalytic reading of “Anna Karenina.” The production, which opened September 7, runs through September 23 in partnership with Rochester Latino Theatre Company.
It’s directed by BFT artist Patricia Lewis Browne. (blackfriars.org) Geva Theatre Center has been making noticeable efforts to increase diversity in show selection, casting, and production staff. An early season pick, “Thurgood,” is a one-man play about Justice Thurgood Marshall, the first African American to sit on the Supreme Court. It’s at Geva October 16 through November 18. Also

on Geva’s schedule is a play Broadway was abuzz over two years ago: “The Humans,” about three generations of a family gathered for Thanksgiving in a tiny New York City apartment. Geva will co-produce the Tony Award-winning play February 19 through March 17 with Syracuse Stage (it plays there April 24 through May 12). (geva.org)
22 CITY FALL GUIDE 2018
Following its tradition of a familyfriendly yet vaguely dark fall show, Greece Theatre Company will mount “The Addams Family: The Musical” from October 26 through November 4. The comedic story about one of TV’s favorite families retains all the usual characters — and adds a few new faces. The show will be performed not in Greece but downtown at The Lyric Theatre, 440 East Avenue. (greeceperformingarts.org) Another recent show making waves on Broadway — “Indecent” by Paula Vogel — will be at JCC CenterStage March 30 through April 14. The play is inspired by the story of Sholem Asch’s controversial Yiddish work “God of Vengeance,” whose Broadway actors were tried for indecency in 1923. (jccrochester.org) Out of Pocket, Inc., an under-the-radar company that has been producing shows for the past decade, returns with several interesting picks this season. Most notable is “Yankee Tavern,” about a young couple that unknowingly stumbles upon a 9/11 conspiracy theory, which runs February 1 through 9 at MuCCC, 142 Atlantic Avenue. Out of Pocket’s tagline is “theatre with a purpose,” and the company donates a portion of all show proceeds to local and national non-profit organizations. (outofpocketinc.com) RAPA Family Theatre has worked since 2014 to offer shows geared toward children and young audiences. From February 1 through 10, RAPA will present “Amelia Earhart,” a creative retelling of the famous pilot who disappeared over the Pacific Ocean. (rapatheatre.org/rapafamily-theatre) The Rochester Broadway Theatre League is also bringing recent New York City hits to the Auditorium Theater this season. In addition to the ubiquitous “Hamilton” (April 23 through May 12), RBTL is hosting the coming-ofage musical “A Bronx Tale,” October 14 through 21, and “Waitress” (June 4 through 9), the story of a small-town Southern baker in an abusive marriage who finds out she’s pregnant. (rbtl.org) Wallbyrd Theatre Company will begin the season in a brand new venue, The Avyarium, located in Village Gate. Departing from the usual Shakespeare fare, the experimental company helmed by Virginia Monte will delve into the 1962 Edward Albee classic about marriage in middle age, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” from November 1 through 19.

FLICKS & TREATS Fall’s cinematic sweets we’re most excited to see
[ FILM PREVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW
Fall movie season invariably comes bearing an embarrassment of riches; if summer’s when Hollywood studios roll out their splashiest blockbuster entertainments, fall is when they offer up the films they’re most artistically proud of — or at least have the greatest potential to bring them awardsseason glory. From rock stars to astronauts, serial killers to ballet-loving witches, this season offers an all-you-can-eat buffet of cinematic delights, with something to satisfy every film fan’s possible craving. 24 CITY FALL GUIDE 2018
What follows are a few of the films we’re most looking forward to in the coming months. There’s plenty more we didn’t have space to cover, so let us know which movies you’re most excited about at rochestercitynewspaper.com. “A Simple Favor”: Known for irreverent comedies like “Bridesmaids,” “Spy,” and “Ghostbusters,” Paul Feig takes a stab at something a bit more sinister with this thriller about a vlogger (Anna

Kendrick) who digs into the mysterious disappearance of her enigmatic best friend (Blake Lively). It’ll be interesting to see how Feig handles a new genre, and I’ll watch Anna Kendrick in anything. Oh, and kudos to the casting director for getting easy-on-the-eyes “Crazy Rich Asians” star Henry Golding in this because yes, I would like to look at him some more, please. (September 14)
“The Old Man and the Gun”: Inspired by real-life outlaw Forrest Tucker, this crime-caper follows Tucker (Robert Redford) as his passion for robbing banks competes with his passion for the new love in his life (played by Sissy Spacek). Redford has announced that the film will likely be his final on-screen performance, so Oscar voters may take advantage of their last opportunity to give the Hollywood legend some long-overdue acting recognition.

“A Star Is Born”: Bradley Cooper stars and directs the fourth screen iteration of this story about an aging star (in this case, a country-music singer) who discovers an exciting young talent (Lady Gaga, in her first leading film role), only for their romantic relationship to suffer when her career rapidly eclipses his own. This one’s a big question mark, but at the very least expect the film’s original music (co-written by Gaga) to get plenty of attention come awards season. (October 5)
“Bad Times at the El Royale”: The paths of seven unsavory strangers converge at the seedy El Royale hotel in this ‘60s-set neo-noir helmed by “Cabin in the Woods” director Drew Goddard. “Cabin” proved Goddard knows his way around a twisty thriller, and the film’s cast — including Jeff Bridges, Jon Hamm, Dakota Johnson, Chris Hemsworth, and Nick Offerman — is to die for. (October 12) “First Man”: Ryan Gosling reteams with “La La Land” director Damien Chazelle to play Neil Armstrong in this drama chronicling the story behind NASA’s Apollo 11, and the first manned mission to the moon. Chazelle’s on a winning streak, but it remains to be seen whether he can wring compelling drama from such a well-known piece of American history. (October 12) “Can You Ever Forgive Me?”: Melissa McCarthy doesn’t get nearly enough opportunity to flex her dramatic muscles, so I’m excited to see the actress in the true story of Lee Israel, a biographer who, after her career stalled, resorted to forging letters from literary icons and selling them on the black market. Directed Marielle Heller (“Diary of a Teenage Girl”) from a screenplay co-written by Tony Award-winning playwright Jeff Whitty (“Avenue Q”) and writer-director Nicole Holofcener, this film’s got quite the pedigree. (October 19) “Halloween”: David Gordon Green (“Stronger,” “Pineapple Express”) is an unexpected choice to take on a new chapter in the legacy of stab-happy horror icon Michael Myers, but his filmography is nothing if not eclectic, so this might just be one of those gambles that seems head-slappingly obvious in hindsight.

“Bad Times at the El Royale” COURTESY TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX
film in the franchise aside from the original classic, this installment also boasts the return of Jamie Lee Curtis to the series that cemented her status as a scream queen legend. (October 19) “Bohemian Rhapsody”: Behind-the-scenes shake-ups aside (original director Bryan Singer left/was fired from the project, leading to Dexter Fletcher stepping in to finish the film), the life story of swaggering Queen frontman Freddie Mercury (played by Rami Malek) still has the potential to be a spectacularly entertaining film. Mercury deserves a biopic as iconic as he was, so fingers crossed. (November 2) “Boy Erased”: Joel Edgerton directs this adaptation of Garrard Conley’s heartbreaking memoir about his experience as a teen being sent to gay conversion therapy by his Baptist pastor father (Russell Crowe) and mother (Nicole Kidman). This has the potential to be

incredibly powerful material in the right hands, plus Conley is played by Lucas Hedges (“Manchester by the Sea”), who’s quickly proving himself to be one of the more interesting actors of his generation. (November 2) “Suspiria”: Fresh off of last year’s “Call Me By Your Name,” Luca
Guadagnino dives into horror with this remake of Dario Argento’s cult classic. As in the original film, an American ballet student (Dakota Johnson) travels to Germany to attend a prestigious dance academy, but discovers the staff are a bit too into the dark arts and ritualistic sacrifice than she’d like — you know how picky dancers can be.

sure how closely the new film follows Argento’s plot beyond that setup, but this looks like a moody, disturbing delight. (November 2) “Widows”: In this crime-drama from director Steve McQueen (“12 Years a Slave”), Viola Davis headlines a phenomenally talented cast that includes Liam Neeson, Colin Farrell, Michelle Rodriguez, Daniel Kaluuya, Carrie Coon, Robert Duvall, and professional scene-stealer Elizabeth Debicki. Scripted by “Gone Girl” author Gillian Flynn, the plot finds the wives of four thieves banding together to carry out a heist their husbands died trying to pull off. (November 16)

“Creed 2”: Before “Black Panther,” director Ryan Coogler knocked his 2015 Rocky spinoff — following Apollo Creed’s son as he attempts to make a name for himself in the boxing world — out of the park, delivering one of the best films of that year. Rising superstars Michael B. Jordan and Tessa Thompson return for the sequel, and even if Coogler’s absence gives me slight pause (but only slight), I’m still down for another round. (November 21)

“Suspiria” COURTESY AMAZON STUDIOS
“Under the Silver Lake”: After making waves with his retro-tinged horror flick “It Follows,” anything David Robert Mitchell did next was going to have my attention. His latest is a paranoid neo-noir starring Andrew Garfield as unemployed stoner whose obsessive quest to discover what happened to his missing neighbor (Riley Keough) leads him down a rabbit hole of cults, secret codes, and sinister conspiracies. (December 7) “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”: We’ve gotten a lot of Spider-Man movies over the years, but none have looked as visually stunning as this animated adventure, in which Brooklyn teen Miles Morales crosses into a parallel dimension and ends up teaming up with the various Spider-People of those alternate realities to defeat a shared threat to all their worlds.

“Mary Poppins Returns”: Emily Blunt steps into the role of Mary Poppins in this sequel to the beloved 1964 film. The rest of the cast reads like a who’s who of people you want to watch on screen, including Lin Manuel Miranda, Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Ben Whishaw, Dick Van Dyke, and Angela Lansbury, so here’s hoping Disney’s got a holiday treat that’s practically perfect in every way. (December 25)
“Roma” COURTESY NETFLIX
“On the Basis of Sex”: The Ruth Bader Ginsburg doc “RBG” was the surprise hit of the summer, so with her story so fresh in audience’s minds, it will be interesting to see how audiences react to this glossier biopic version of the Supreme Court justice’s early years. “The Theory of Everything” and “Rogue One” star Felicity Jones takes on the role of Ginsburg, with Armie Hammer as her beloved husband, Marty. (December 25) “If Beale Street Could Talk”: “Moonlight” director Barry Jenkins follows up that masterpiece (and one of the greatest Best Picture winners ever) with a gorgeous looking adaptation of
James Baldwin’s 1974 novel. The plot finds a young Harlem woman fighting to exonerate her lover, wrongfully imprisoned for a terrible crime, before the imminent birth of their child. My most-anticipated movie this year. (TBD) “Roma”: In his first film since 2013’s “Gravity,” Alfonso Cuarón returns to his roots with this semi-autobiographical Mexican-language film following the lives and struggles of a middle-class family in Mexico City during the early 1970s. Shot in lush black-and-white, expect Cuaron to bring his trademark visual genius. (Streaming on Netflix TBD)
