SUMMARY:Bonsai Workshop at Old Planters Brewery
DESCRIPTION:Beginner workshops are perfect for you to grab your friends\, grab a drink and come make tiny trees! We’re bringing the awesome art of bonsai out of the hedged in gardens and into the streets! Or at least into your favorite bars/breweries/pubs. Bonsai Bar is a night of fun you don’t want to miss. Learn the fundamental skills and techniques behind the art of bonsai while enjoying a night out with friends! Our teachers will introduce core concepts and guide your experience as you pot\, prune\, and design your very own bonsai tree! Our Guarantee: These tiny trees are so hardy we guarantee you can keep yours alive\, or we’ll replace it. \nThis workshop will be hosted at Old Planters Brewery. Our goal has always been to be firmly rooted in our community with everything we do. Whether it’s collaborating with other local businesses in our area (FRANK / Crave / Wandering Soul/ Fat Tuna Charters/ Half Baked) or giving back to the place that has given us so much (Beverly Hospital/HarborLight community partners) . \nThis idea of community rings true in our taproom as well. Our space has become a meeting place to hear local musicians\, enjoy local artists\, and get a taste of various foods in the Beverly area . It’s also a space where we would like ALL members of our community to feel welcome and accepted. For many\, craft breweries can sometimes feel exclusive and intimidating for those that don’t consider themselves “beer nerds” and this is a notion we will always work hard to dispel. We believe beer should be fun/accepting and our goal is to always have a variety of beers that speak to a wide audience. \nUnder 21 policy: Please contact Old Planters Brewery for details regarding underage entry \nFor more about Bonsai Bar and what to expect at our classes\, visit our website at: https://bonsaibar.com/products/old-planters-brewery \nHappens on the following Dates:\nApr 15\, 2025\, 7:00pm to 9:00pm Timezone: EDT\nMay 20\, 2025\, 7:00pm to 9:00pm Timezone: EDT

SUMMARY:Brad Mehldau
DESCRIPTION:Experience the critically acclaimed artistry of Brad Mehldau\, hailed by The New York Times as “the most influential jazz pianist of the last 20 years.” Known for his lyrical and innovative style\, Mehldau’s performances are a masterclass in musical ingenuity and emotional depth\, seamlessly blending jazz\, classical and pop influences. \n“Brad Mehldau is a giant of contemporary jazz piano whose musical language has always been difficult to define due to his healthy lack of respect for musical boundaries.”\n– All About Jazz \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nRenowned as one of the most lyrical and intimate voices in contemporary jazz piano\, Brad Mehldau has carved a distinctive path that blends jazz exploration\, classical romanticism and pop sensibility. Acclaimed as a bandleader and celebrated for collaborations with artists like Pat Metheny\, Renée Fleming and Joshua Redman\, Mehldau is admired by both jazz purists and broader music audiences. \nHis innovative approach to melding musical genres has resulted in stunning reinterpretations of songs by The Beatles\, Radiohead\, Paul Simon\, and Nick Drake\, as well as timeless classics by Cole Porter and Gershwin. These sit alongside a significant and ever-evolving catalogue of his original compositions\, performed in both solo and trio settings. \nWith his deep appreciation for popular music and classical influences\, Mehldau has been hailed as “the most influential jazz pianist of the last 20 years” (The New York Times). \n“Pianist Brad Mehldau is the ultimate jazz chameleon\, at home covering songs by composers as diverse as Cole Porter\, Thelonious Monk\, Radiohead\, Stone Temple Pilots\, Nick Drake\, George Gershwin and Massive Attack…He respects the sophistication that can be derived from these compositions and treats them all with equal reverence.”\n-Pop Matters \nBelow\, Brad Mehldau discusses his album ‘After Bach II’ and performs ‘Variations on Bach’s Goldberg Theme’ from it. The album is out now: https://bradmehldau.lnk.to/afterbachii

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.
