LIED CENTER, 6PM
PianoFOURte Perform for Free At 6
While the piano is a common instrument, it is unusual to hear four musicians playing two pianos at the same time. Join PianoFOURte as they take the stage of the Lied Center for Performing Arts at 6:00 p.m. this evening as part of the Lied Center's Free at 6 series. Among the pieces to be performed at this concert are works by Mozart, David Von Kampen, and Beethoven.
Free at 6 was created to recognize and celebrate the rich range of artistic talent in the community and to open the doors of the Lied Center to a wider audience. Free at 6 programs, which are 45 minutes in length, give local artists a venue for their art while encouraging the participation of new audiences.

Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten Play at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents Before The Devil Knows You're Dead and Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten. Both films will show through December 23.
Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, is a suspenseful thriller directed by master filmmaker Sidney Lumet about a family facing the worst enemy of all - itself. Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Andy, an overextended broker who lures his younger brother, Hank (Ethan Hawke) into a larcenous scheme: the pair will rob a suburban mom-and-pop jewelry store that appears to be the quintessential easy target. The problem is, the store owners are Andy and Hank's actual mom and pop and, when the seemingly perfect crime goes awry, the damage lands right at their doorstep.
As the front man of the Clash from 1977 onwards, Joe Strummer changed people's lives forever. Four years after his death, his influence reaches out around the world, more strongly now than ever before. In The Future Is Unwritten, from British film director Julien Temple, Joe Strummer is revealed not just as a legend or musician, but as a true communicator of our times. Drawing on both a shared punk history and the close personal friendship which developed over the last years of Joe's life, Julien Temple's film is a celebration of Joe Strummer - before, during and after the Clash.
