Inside the Perfect Circle: The Odyssey of Joel Thome

An Award-Winning Documentary
Directed by Chris Pepino
Followed by Q&A with Joel Thome and musical performance

A documentary about Grammy Award winner and Pulitzer Prize nominated composer and conductor Joel Thome, who collaborated extensively with rock icon Frank Zappa, arranging all of the eccentric composer's music for rock band and orchestra, and also composed for Steve Vai and Pablo Picasso. In 1991 Thome suffered a debilitating stroke and was paralyzed on the left side of his body, but by using music as a resource for healing, he was able to return to the stage with a new project, his graphically notated mandala scores. With performance by The Scorchio Quartet, and animated mandala artwork by abstract painter Harry C. Doolittle, Inside The Perfect Circle is a feast for the senses.

Presented by the Hudson Valley Programers Group.
