HOW WONDERFUL LIFE IS.

Music selections include:
Your Song, Rocketman, Tiny Dancer,

Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me – by Elton John

Once classics, recently brought to light again with the inclusion of other artists, Elton John’s works have changed the face of humanity. Whether it’s a song about a loved one or about "blasting off to space" John’s songs are classics that everyone at some time has sung their hearts out to. How Wonderful Life Is represents a musical and visual journey to help viewers self-reflect on the impact that Elton John's music has had on their lives, while comparing the daily triumphs and struggles that we all face.

Artists have long been fascinated and inspired by dreams. In our 2022 program Dreams Through the Eyes of an Artist, we seek to explore different dream states and their similarities with art by famous artists. Featuring music from Willy Wonka, Léo Delibes, and Metallica as well as artwork by surrealist Vladimir Kush, modernist Pablo Picasso, and expressionist Edvard Munch. We hope you enjoy our journey through dreams of adventure, peace and nightmares.
