Ella Bric Concert

Two-time Latin Grammy-winning artist Ella Bric brings her electrifying fusion of Afro-Venezuelan rhythms, live improvisation, and electronic experimentation to the stage in a powerful live performance that blurs the boundaries between concert and sonic exploration. Her sound carries the rhythmic complexity of the Caribbean and the experimentation of New York’s downtown scene, creating immersive experiences that feel both ancestral and futuristic.

Born in Venezuela and based in New York, Ella is a trumpeter, composer, producer, and multidisciplinary artist whose genre-fluid sound bridges Afro-Venezuelan traditions, Latin jazz, and electronic music. In 2024, she became the first woman to win the Latin Grammy for Producer of the Year.

Short Fiction with Barbara: "So Long, See You Tomorrow" (12 Oct 2026)

Mon, 12 Oct 2026 22:30:00 GMT

The Short Fiction Book Club meets to discuss works of fiction under 200 pages long. It is led by Bookshop owner Barbara de Wilde, and meets in a cozy room at Frenchtown's FiNNBAR.

The short fiction for October is "So Long, See You Tomorrow," which won the National Book Award in 1982 and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Award for Fiction. The novel explores the impact of the death of a man named Lloyd Wilson in rural Illinois in the 1920s on two teenage boys. 50 years later, the now-grown men are drawn back together as they attempt to reconstruct the details of this trauma as they both remember it. Written in spellbinding prose, this little book deftly explores grief, innocence and the unreliability of memory.

Reservations are $14.45 and include the book, discounted by 15%.
