SUMMARY:Music in the Atrium: Celebrate Mother Earth with Johnny Fireseed
DESCRIPTION:Know before you go\nIn-person event\nLocation: Atrium \nIncluded with admission\nSalem residents and workers always get free admission. \nThis program will contribute to the sound in the Atrium. If you would like to borrow noise canceling headphones\, please pick up a KultureCity bag at the coatroom. \nABOVE IMAGE: Illustrations by Chris Cyr. \nThis month\, our Music in the Atrium series celebrates Planet Earth with live performances by Johnny Fireseed. A project of Framingham-based Fireseed Arts Studios\, lead by artist and musician Patiño Vázquez in collaboration with local musicians and craftspeople\, Johnny Fireseed uses instruments made entirely from upcycled trash and repurposed items to perform original music with an upbeat eco message. The band’s inspiring sound aims to spread a message of joy\, fun and new ways of thinking about consumption and waste far and wide. \nVázquez will be showcasing instruments made from locally harvested trash and live looping to create ambient soundscapes. Come hear high-end electric guitars made from old kitchen countertops and drums fashioned from ventilation ducts and popcorn tins in an aesthetic that’s “part Victorian Steampunk with elements of mystic meditations in heart-opening layers of rhythms and harmonies.” Building loops and then improvising over the loops gives the listener a feel for the looks and sound characteristics of each instrument. Audience members are often invited to join in the fun! \nMusic in the Atrium is PEM’s live concert series that features local and visiting performers from a variety of musical traditions and styles. Concerts take place on select Sundays. Explore upcoming shows at pem.org/events.

SUMMARY:Connie Converse at 100: America's Cassandra
DESCRIPTION:Know before you go\nIn-person event\nLocation: Morse Auditorium \nIncluded with admission\nAdvance registration recommended. \nWhen the music of the previously unknown Connie Converse was released in 2009\, decades after she deliberately disappeared in 1974 (never to be heard from again)\, it created a new reference point in American music\, and a need to rewrite the music history books. \nIn early 1950s New York\, more than ten years before Bob Dylan and his contemporaries popularized the “singer-songwriter” identity\, Converse was writing and performing witty\, introspective\, literary songs for voice and guitar. She was also a brilliant scholar\, visual artist\, activist and public thinker far ahead of her time. \nJoin Howard Fishman\, author of To Anyone Who Ever Asks: The Life\, Music\, and Mystery of Connie Converse\, in conversation with Boston Globe contributor James Sullivan and Trevor Smith\, PEM’s Associate Director–Multisensory Experience and Curator of the Present Tense. \nTheir conversation will cover the Converse family’s long history in America\, dating back to their 1630 arrival in Salem\, and Converse’s relationship to the American songbook. They will also play samples from Converse’s pioneering recordings and haunting melodies. A book signing will follow the talk.
