NATURE SCREEN PRESENTS "IT'S A WILD CHRISTMAS" Dat

NATURE SCREEN PRESENTS "IT'S A WILD CHRISTMAS"
Dates: Dates vary between December 7, 2023 - December 21, 2023
Location: Cape Cod Museum of Natural History
Time: 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM
Price: Included with Museum Admission
🎁
Nature Screen at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster presents It’s a Wild Christmas, Thursdays, December 7 & 21, 2023 at 11:30am. Written and Produced by Susanne Lummer; Executive Producer: Sabine Holzer.
🎁
Wintertime, high up north. Glittering frost covers the ground; drifting snowflakes fill the air. It’s a time to rest, save energy, and take life slow, for humans, animals, and plants. Or is it?
🎁
Wintertime in Earth’s northern hemisphere simply means one thing-it’s summer in the southern half of our planet. In the north, surviving Christmas requires special skills, skills that dall sheep, snow hares, and bison have mastered. And Christmas time brings new family additions! In Canada, a grey jay has made its nest in the icy cold, while other animals still hibernate or flee to warmer, more southern regions, these birds make clever use of local conditions.
🎁
Far away in the south, one of the last stops before the Antarctic, a little island covered in glaciers lies South Georgia. Around Christmas this is a summer paradise for some two million
🎁
King penguins. It is their most important breeding ground and soon, chicks will be everywhere. For Christmas dinner, cold fresh fish pulp is served!
🎁
Colorfully decorated trees are a popular way to celebrate Christmas around the globe. But on the Great Barrier Reef, a very special type of animal takes on the role: the Christmas tree worm! At home amidst the beautiful hues of the coral reef, this worm adds yet another flamboyant splash of color with its feather-like tentacles shaped like Christmas trees.
🎁
In this spectacular film, from Alaska to the tropics, all nature celebrates life on a wild, silent Christmas night.

Zach Mayer brings people together through the power of nigunim, spiritual wordless melodies, rooted in Jewish tradition.

A singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist and teacher, Mayer has over 35 million hits on YouTube for his “Subway Sax Battle.”
🕎
“Zach Mayer is a wonderful, embracing, enthusiastic musician and a real mensch. He brings knowledge, passion and warmth to his teaching.” - Frank London, Klezmatics
🕎
“Zachary is one of the top Jewish instrumentalists and singers of his generation. He is also a high-level pianist, saxophonist, arranger, composer and improviser who has already contributed wonderful original nigunim to the contemporary canon. His warm personality and compelling spiritual presence have enabled him to rise to the top as a leading figure in the contemporary resurgence of Jewish music”. -Dr. Hankus Netsky, Chair of Contemporary Improvisation at the New England Conservatory
🕎
Zach Mayer has performed with John Zorn, Frank London, Michael Alpert, Joey Weisenberg, and Bobby McFerrin. He performs internationally with Zion80, a 10-piece Jewish Afrobeat band inspired by the music of Shlomo Carlebach.

The Christmas Season. Presents and candy, courtesy of Santa Claus.
For some naughty individuals, though, there is another possibility, involving consequences beyond a disappointing lump of coal in one's stocking. In the dark folkloric traditions of Germany and central Europe, Santa might be accompanied by an unwelcome, and alarming, colleague.

You better watch out. You better not cry.
