Afternoon - Art Lecture on Albrecht Dürer - NGA
Intro to the Exhibit: "Albrecht Dürer: Master Drawings, Watercolors, and Prints from the Albertina"
2:00pm
New exhibit opens today! Andrew Robison, A. W. Mellon Senior Curator of Prints and Drawings. "Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) has long been considered the greatest German artist, uniquely combining the status held in Italian art by Michelangelo in the sixteenth century, by Raphael in the 18th and 19th centuries, and by Leonardo da Vinci in our own day."

Afternoon - "Nostalgic Mix of Music and Memories" - Alexandria, VA
The Dream Hour
2:00pm
"With the stirring strains of The Marines' Hymn, the National Broadcasting Company brings you the music of the United States Marine Band!" Thus began every script of one of the longest running programs in radio history, NBC's "The Dream Hour," which was on the air for nearly 30 years. "Created for shut-ins, the program relied heavily upon audience participation; Patrons were asked to send in their requests, resulting in hundreds of postcards bound for Marine Barracks, 8th & I, every week. Local radio personality Mike O'Meara will be the host for this nostalgic mix of music and memories of yesteryear."

Late Afternoon - Film Screening - NGA
Film Event: The Fifth Season
4:30pm
Washington premiere. Presented in association with the Environmental Film Festival.
Film: (Peter Brosens and Jessica Woodworth, 2012, HDCam, French and Flemish with subtitles, 94 minutes) In Belgium's secluded Ardennes, where people live close to the land, a mystifying force is changing the natural order--seasons are erratic, seeds don't sprout, and birds and bees ignore their labor. Without the cyclical rhythms, the local villagers are on the verge of lunacy and revert to their only hope for recovery--a sacrifice of one of their own. Weaving a surreal tapestry, The Fifth Season (La Cinquième saison) recalls the canvases of Magritte, Delvaux, and Ensor. "A mad elegy to the land"--Cameron Bailey.
