Thursday, November 17, 6 – 8 p.m.
Join us for a special screening of Other Music, a film that documents the closing of New York City’s beloved record store of the same name. The documentary celebrates the role of record stores as hubs around which music communities are built and explores the question of how the spirit of these communities can live on in the streaming age.
We’ll be joined by Sandy Bitman, owner of the Orlando institution Park Ave CDs, and Bobby Sirkin, course director of audio production at Full Sail University, for a discussion after the film. Sandy and Bobby will talk about how we see themes highlighted in the film playing out today in our community, including the impact of digital streaming on the music industry and music communities. Sandy will share his thoughts on the role Park Ave CDs has held in our community and why it has survived while so many independent record stores are closing across the nation. The discussion will also consider where we go from here to maintain our own music communities in Orlando.
Admission is free. Please RSVP.
