This intimate evening of music under the stars was born of a visit by the composer Hans-Joachim Roedelius, who collaborated with the sound of the swallows chirping in the mud homes they create every year under the Center's eaves.
This year the event will feature three acts who truly embody the art of music:
Los Angeles singer/songwriter, and underground fashion icon Abby Travis, will offer her intoxicating blend of glam-rock, trip-hop, soul and cabaret.
Audiometer, featuring Tommy Grenas and Michael Esther (both just back from a European tour with their band Farflung) will present a marriage of video and analog electronics.
Molly Zenobia, one of our favorite singer/songwriters, will perform "music in the shape of your heart." Molly recently relocated to Boston and we are pleased to welcome her back to the Center for this performance.
Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door.

The Opening Reception lasted four hours and was attended by a steady stream of visitors who had the opportunity to meet the artists in the New Work exhibition.
Claire Dune |
Jewelry designer Clare Dune presented a trunk show, with a number of major works and a group of models on hand. The artist refers to her fused glass and rubber as "contemporary embellishments and charms for old souls and brave hearts". The contrast between hard, yet fragile colored glass and soft, yet flexible rubber creates a dramatic look that is both modern and timeless, with Asian and African references. |

Artist and Chef Beatrix Rohlsen created and served a wide-array of vegan appetizers, as those in attendance sipped wine and viewed works in the exhibition.
Joe Juin, who performs under the name "Felino" sat beneath a tree and entertained those in attendance with classic French and South American folk songs. His girlfriend and daughter often sat by his side and harmonized.
