Leave inspired—with a few new favorite artists and plenty to talk about. ​ **Why You’ll Love This** * ​✨ **Be among the first to explore a new era at LACMA** inside the much-anticipated David Geffen Galleries. * ​🎨 **Skip the aimless museum wandering** with an expert from ArtMuse LA leading us to works and stories worth knowing. * ​💗 **Put women artists in the spotlight** as we discover their creativity, influence, and contributions across LACMA’s collection. * ​🥂 **Make an afternoon of it** with an optional lunch at Fanny’s and the chance to connect with fellow culturally curious women. ​**Schedule** ​**12:00 PM \|** Lunch at [Fanny’s](https://fannysla.com/?utm_source=luma) Academy Museum of Motion Pictures \| 6067 Wilshire Blvd ​**1:45 PM \|** Meet for **2pm** Private Guided Tour of the [David Geffen Galleries](https://www.lacma.org/?utm_source=luma) LACMA \| 5905 Wilshire Blvd ​**3:00 PM \|** Option to continue Exploring LACMA ​—— **[Advance Purchase Required here](https://luma.com/NewGeffenGalleries-05jf)** ​ **Tickets** **Private\, guided tour only \|** $70 first release; $75 full price **Full experience with Lunch \|** $100 first release: $110 full price\* ​\*\*Full Experience includes one lunch entrée only.

Recommended! **Date:** Monday, October 12, 7:30 **Venue**: 2220 Arts+Archives 2220 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90057 (213) 277-1987 Free parking in the church lot across the street **Tickets**: $16.85 [Lucian Ban & Mat Maneri Transylvanian Dance - a multimedia performance |](https://angelcityjazz.com/event/transylvanian-dance/) **Lucian Ban & Mat Maneri Transylvanian Dance – a multimedia performance** **Video**: [https://youtu.be/3G7orY9teKk?si=YohMOI54s4BWJpAL](https://youtu.be/3G7orY9teKk?si=YohMOI54s4BWJpAL) **7:30pm – Jazz and Creativity, The Secret Codes** **Embedded in Béla Bartók Field Recordings.** Free Presentation Lucian and Mat will talk about this multimedia project and play audio from Bartók original wax cylinder recordings from the early 20th century. This portion of the program is free to attend. **8:30pm – Transylvanian Dance** In this multimedia performance, Transylvanian Dance invites audiences into Bartók’s remarkable journey across the villages of Transylvania while revealing the timeless emotional power of the music he preserved. Named one of the Best Albums of 2024 by El País, All About Jazz, and PostGenre, Transylvanian Dance is an immersive concert experience inspired by Béla Bartók’s legendary field recordings from Transylvania. Drawing on their acclaimed ECM Records release, Transylvanian Dance, pianist Lucian Ban and violist Mat Maneri transform the century-old folk songs collected by Bartók into living contemporary music through improvisation, unfolding alongside video projections of rare archival film footage, Bartók’s own photographs, handwritten manuscripts and excerpts from the original Edison wax-cylinder recordings. More than a concert, Transylvanian Dance invites audiences into Bartók’s remarkable journey across the villages of Transylvania while revealing the timeless emotional power of the music he preserved. *Lucian Ban & Mat Maneri performance and presentation are part of* Retracing Bartók – Reimagining the Béla Bartók Field Recordings *project supported by The Tulipán Foundation.* **Lucian Ban** & **Mat Maneri** Lucian Ban and Mat Maneri are internationally recognized for their unique musical partnership, combining Transylvanian folk music, jazz improvisation, 20th-century European classical traditions, and contemporary chamber music. They first collaborated in 2009 on Enesco Re-Imagined, a celebrated reimagining of the music of Romanian composer George Enescu that received multiple Best Album of the Year honors and international acclaim. Their partnership has since produced a series of acclaimed recordings—including ECM’s Transylvanian Concert and Transylvanian Dance, Transylvanian Folk Songs, Oedipe Redux, and Cantica Profana—earning worldwide recognition for revealing unexpected connections between folk traditions, jazz, and contemporary creative music. The Guardian praised their music for its “original voice and unorthodox beauty,” while the Financial Times wrote that they “compress folkloric bacchanals, atonal mysteries and the unmistakable cadences of the blues into a singular aesthetic.” > *“Romanian folk meets Brooklyn jazz”ll quote here”* > — Financial Times > *“It’s not quite folk music. It’s not quite Western classical music. It’s not quite jazz. Ultimately, it is human music, and that is what makes it so beautiful”* > — PostGenre > *“This beautiful album is made up of arrangements of various folk songs collected by Béla Bartók in Transylvania, performed with enormous complicity and respect by the duo, who imprint their personality on old Romanian folklore and bring it into the 21st century without removing its essence. The result is magical.”* > — El Pais * [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/manerimat) * [Link](http://www.lucianban.com/)
