7pm- The Trail of ’98 with live musical accompaniment from Mark Tipton!
One of the very last of the great films of the Silent Era will be brought to stunning life without the actual cold of the Klondike central to The Trail of ‘98–through the magic of film and trumpeter Mark Tipton’s original score, performed live at MFC. Actually shot in part on location in Alaska at heights of 11,600 feet and with -60 temperatures, The Trail of ’98 follows fortune hunters from more temperate climes seeking a strike a mere 30 years before the film was made. They find beauty, adventure, astonishing hardship…and even for a lucky few, perhaps love and/or gold. To reserve a ticket, click here.

5pm- Jazz Concert with Danie Ocean
Danie Ocean is a uniquely talented singer/songwriter/multi instrumentalist based in Philadelphia. With early roots in RnB and soul, Danie has also explored rootsy folk and rock and roll, and incorporates all these elements with jazz, hip-hop and avant-garde touches added to the mix. Danie Ocean’s music is a marriage of an extraordinary and multi faceted 3+ octave vocal range with a writing style that is wise, heartfelt, deeply personal and unflinchingly honest.
