Broadway star Idina Menzel and her co-author sister Cara Mentzel read and sing their way into the hearts of students and faculty alike on Friday at the Aurora school.
From left, educator and author Cara Mentzel and her sister, Broadway star Idina Menzel, read from their new children's book"Proud Mouse" to students and staff at Holy Angels School in Aurora on Friday.Definitely I could hear it, much of the enthusiasm coming from a van full of preschoolers who were returning to Holy Angels to join the other 400-plus students about to meet the authors of a new children’s book “Proud Mouse.
No, make that an obsession, much to the amusement-turned-annoyance of every parent who heard it in their home, if not their head, through a huge chunk of their parenting years. Holy Angels students on Friday listen intently as co-authors Idina Menzel, who starred as Elsa in"Frozen," and her sister Cara Mentzel read their new book"Proud Mouse."
The students, quiet as mice while the book was read, got plenty animated again on several occasions, like when the authors led the group in singing “Happy Birthday” to the handful of kids celebrating their big days.

'The Holy Mountain' with Joe CantrellFrom Project [BLANK]:Join us for THE SALTY SERIES: our take-over of Bread & Salt in Barrio Logan, an experimental center for the arts, with concerts on the Third Friday of every month. Grab a drink, make a new friend, and feast your ears on the most savory experimental music in town.The Salty Series kicks off with a film screening of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 1973 avant garde masterpiece, THE HOLY MOUNTAIN, with live electronic score improvisation by sound artist JOE CANTRELL. According to Cantrell, 'Alejandro Jodorowsky’s [work] is as visually striking as it is difficult – a journey that is unrelenting in its surreal maximalism. At times serene, grotesque, and comical, the sense of the uncanny never leaves the viewer. It is this focus on imagery that is intensely unusual that I find so fitting for a live performance setting. My intention is to use these fantastical images as a visual representation of noises and sounds, similar to a type of music notation called a graphical score. These scores use static pictures instead of notes to convey musical ideas. The images used are often abstract and unusual and open to a wide variety of interpretations by the musician. I feel the challenging and dazzling visual world that Jodorowsky paints is a fitting filmic analog to this graphical tradition, and one that promises to create impactful and memorable sonic and visual pairing.'
