The Grand Salmon Film Screening

Wood River High School

Join us for a screening of The Grand Salmon! Following three women on a 78-day paddling expedition, The Grand Salmon explores the effects of four dams on the Lower Snake River and their impact throughout the watershed on rapidly dwindling wild salmon populations. For over 1,000 miles, these women navigate the same waterways wild salmon have for generations, connecting the source of the Salmon River to the Pacific Ocean. From high water to extreme temperatures, this team not only faces the same natural challenges the fish do each year, but brings viewers along to experience what the construction of these dams has done to our ecosystems and wildlife. Tickets are limited, so buy a ticket today! Buy Tickets HERE.

Jonathan Dely

The Argyros

Jonathan Dely leads a touring All-Star Band, from New York City’s Bruno Walter Auditorium at Lincoln Center to SFJAZZ in San Francisco to The NAMM Show in Los Angeles, and more. After declining a full-time, six-figure investment banking position on Wall Street to become a solo trumpet artist, Dely earned finalist honors in the National Trumpet Competition, the International Trumpet Guild Jazz Competition, and the Yamaha Young Performing Artist Competition. In 2023, Dely’s journey from Wall Street to the stage caught the eye of Bob Giraldi, legendary filmmaker and director of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It,” who cast Dely in his newest short film Goodbye Jonathan’s Soul, the story of a young musician on the precipice of accepting a lucrative Wall-Street job who wrestles with leaving his jazz band behind forever. Dely graduated with honors from Williams College before earning his Master’s on scholarship at Manhattan School of Music. He is currently preparing for the recording of his debut album.
