“Friedl” Film Screening & Conversation With Chris Anthony (6:30 pm, Wheeler Opera House) Aspen Historical Society welcomes professional skier and documentary filmmaker Chris Anthony back to the Wheeler Opera House for the Aspen premiere of Friedl, Anthony’s latest film exploring the legendary life of one of Aspen’s most influential ski pioneers, Friedl Pfeifer. While researching a sequel to his award-winning documentary, Mission Mt. Mangart, Chris uncovered the remarkable story of a daring ski race on Austria’s highest peak, the Grossglockner, which required athletes to climb to the summit starting in the middle of the night. Austrians held the race beginning in 1935, initially on wooden skis with leather boots and bindings, descending the glacier below to avoid crevasses, rocks, and cliffs rather than using gates. In 1935, the fastest skier from the summit was Friedl Pfefier, who also won a shorter version of the race in 1936. Chris quickly realized this was the same Friedl Pfeifer whose statue stands at the base of Ajax: Pfeifer escaped the Nazi regime, immigrated to the United States, led the Sun Valley Ski School, served in the 10th Mountain Division, and later helped create Aspen Skiing Corporation. The film explores this sweeping story, followed by a conversation with Colorado Snow Sports Hall of Fame inductee Chris Anthony. To purchase tickets, click here.

Public Lecture- Live Fast, Die Young: The Meteoric Rise of Giant Galaxies (5:30 pm, Flag Forum at Aspen Center for Physics) Galaxies are complex collections of stars, gas, and dark matter. The largest galaxies host many of the Universe’s stars and harbor the most extreme supermassive black holes. Today these massive galaxies are ancient relics – they stopped forming stars long ago and shine with a dim, reddish glow. For decades, astronomers assumed these giants formed slowly over billions of years, but until recently, we did not have the tools to directly observe their adolescence. In its first few years of operation, the James Webb Space Telescope has revolutionized our view of the early Universe, peering deeper into cosmic history than ever before. And what it revealed shocked us: massive galaxies that were already complete less than 4-5 hundred million years after the Big Bang. It’s not just that they formed early – they lived fast and died young. Even more puzzling: there are far too many of them. Our best theoretical models struggle to explain how the early Universe built so many giants so quickly, or why they stopped forming stars and retired so early. In this talk Rachel Bezanson will describe how her team is hunting down these cosmic overachievers and what their existence means for our understanding of how the Universe evolved.

Keller Williams (8:00 pm, Belly Up Aspen) Virginian, Keller Williams, released his first album in 1994, FREEK, and has since given each of his albums a single syllable title: BUZZ, SPUN, BREATHE, LOOP, LAUGH, HOME, DANCE, STAGE, GRASS, DREAM, TWELVE, LIVE, ODD, THIEF, KIDS, BASS, PICK, FUNK, VAPE, SYNC, RAW, SANS, ADD, SPEED, CELL, DROLL and now DEER. Each title serves as a concise summation of the concept guiding each project. Keller’s albums reflect his pursuit to create music that sounds like nothing else. Un-beholden to conventionalism, he seamlessly crosses genre boundaries. The end product is music that encompasses rock, jazz, funk and bluegrass, and always keeps the audience on their feet. Keller built his reputation initially on his engaging live performances, no two of which are ever alike. For most of his career he has performed solo. His stage shows are rooted around Keller singing his compositions and choice cover songs, while accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, bass, guitar synthesizer and drum samples; a technique called live phrase sampling or“looping”. The end result often leans toward a hybrid of alternative folk and groovy electronica, a genre Keller jokingly calls “acoustic dance music” or "ADM.” Keller’s constant evolution has led to numerous band projects as well; Keller & The Keels, Grateful Grass, KWahtro, Keller and the Travelin’ McCourys, Grateful Gospel, More Than A Little and most recently DeadPettyKellerGrass. You can even catch him from time to time going back to his troubadour roots with his “Shut the Folk Up and Listen” series. Keller can be found playing clubs and festivals with these projects and his tried and true solo looping show, always changing things up and keeping moving. To purchase tickets, click here.
