Tour\, continuing to guide fans through the thrilling and sophisticated world of his father’s music. \nHis virtuosity on the guitar is matched only by his prolific compositional skills\, which have generated numerous original works spanning multiple albums including “Confessions of Deprived Youth” (1991) and “Via Zammata” (2015).

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:Paul Reiser
DESCRIPTION:Comedian\, actor\, television writer\, author and musician Paul Reiser is one of Hollywood’s most prolific creatives. \n2024 is set to be a busy year for Reiser. On the heels of his new comedy “The Problem with People\,” which he wrote\, produced\, and starred in alongside Colm Meaney and Jane Levy\, Reiser has upcoming projects across a multitude of media formats. \nIn March\, Carter Burke\, Reiser’s iconic character from “Aliens” will be re-emerging in a “what-if” concept comic book from Marvel comics. \nReiser co-wrote “What a Fool Believes\,” the candid\, freewheeling memoir of his friend and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Michael McDonald which will be published May 21 from HarperCollins/DeyStreet. \nLater\, in July\, Reiser will appear in Netflix’s “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F\, reprising his role from BH Cop 1 and 2 and will also appear in the independent comedy “The Gutter\,” directed by Isaiah and Yassir Lester\, premiering at SXSW. \nRecently Reiser could be seen in Hulu’s critically-acclaimed comedy series “Reboot” from Modern Family creator Steve Levitan. Awards Daily wrote “Reiser truly excels\, giving one of his very best performances…here\, he reminds us just how very funny and experienced he is in the world of television comedy.” \nHe also took his first step into bloody\, superhero glory in Season 3 of Amazon Prime’s Emmy-nominated The Boys playing “The Legend.” \nReiser is widely celebrated for his roles in two hit shows for Netflix: Stranger Things—the company’s biggest series of all time— and Chuck Lorre’s The Kominsky Method\, for which he received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor. \nMad About You\, the long-running Emmy\, Peabody\, and Golden Globe-winning comedy that Reiser created and starred in with Helen Hunt returned as a limited series on Spectrum Originals. \nThroughout his prolific career\, Reiser has worked with both independent and mainstream filmmakers. Having earned acclaim for his supporting role in the Academy Award-winning film Whiplash\, Reiser was also seen in frequent collaborator Jeff Baena’s “The Little Hours” and “Horse Girl\,” which premiered at Sundance 2020\, the fourth film the pair has worked on together. The veteran actor has garnered praise for notable performances in films such as Diner\, Bye Bye Love\, One Night At McCool’s\, and The Thing About My Folks\, which Reiser wrote for his co-star Peter Falk. \nReiser is a fixture behind the camera as well. He co-created and produced the seven-episode series There’s Johnny\, a fictional story set behind-the-scenes of Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show circa 1972\, co-produced with director David Gordon Green. The show premiered to critical praise\, with Decider saying There’s Johnny! is “a television experience unlike any I’ve seen on TV in recent years” and “unfolds like a dream\, a memory fondly recalled.” \nAs an author\, Reiser’s first book\, Couplehood\, sold over two million copies and reached the number one spot on The New York Times bestsellers list. His subsequent books\, Babyhood and Familyhood\, were best sellers as well. \nVoted by Comedy Central as one of the Top 100 Comedians of All Time\, Reiser regularly performs sold-out standups at venues nationwide. \nA SUNY Binghamton graduate of its prestigious music program\, Reiser co-wrote the theme song for Mad About You\, “The Final Frontier\,” with Grammy-winning producer Don Was\, and released an album of original songs with British singer-songwriter Julia Fordham called Unusual Suspects. Over the course of his career\, Reiser has received multiple Emmys\, Golden Globes\, American Comedy Awards\, and Screen Actors Guild nominations. \nReiser and his family reside in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:5-Day Bare Bones Wood Carving Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Here is a great opportunity to learn the fundamentals of woodcarving in 5 days from a professional! \nFor those of you who cannot find time for the five consecutive days\, this is what I do. If you take a two or three-day course you are taking the first two or three days of my five-day workshop which is broken up into daily learning chapters. So three days brings you to chapter three\, two days to chapter two. The weekend workshops will give you a basic understanding of the skill of wood carving which includes hand-carving technique\, sharpening\, and designing skills among other topics but the full training takes five days. You will also do the carving projects to reinforce the hand techniques that we talk about so that you gain much needed muscle memory in your hands. \nSome students may be satisfied with the information learned\, others may choose to find their way back for another weekend and finish the last two or three days to get all the necessary techniques and insights. When you return\, (it can be during that calendar year or the next) everyone else is at the beginning point on the start of the weekend\, but you pick up where you left off to finish your training. That’s the story in a nutshell. Call me if you are looking for more info. I am happy to answer any questions. \nAll class days run from 9 am – 5 pm. \nFor more information:\nCall: (978) 283-0231\nEmail: david@calvostudio.com\nWebsite: https://www.davidcalvo.com/woodcarving_classes.html

SUMMARY:CraneExplorer: Arbor Day Forest Fun
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Arbor Day with a frolic through the forest on this all-ages education program which explores the biological need for habitat & shelter in an educational and experiential setting. Participants will discuss examples of shelters and dwellings\, why and how living things build shelters\, and share gratitude with the earth for providing the materials for these shelters. After brainstorming some building strategies & designs\, we will get active outside with a nature walk and then practice building shelters & fairy houses out of natural materials in the Pine Grove at Castle Hill. This program is a great way for young learners to spend time outdoors exploring creativity & gratitude for nature. \nCraneExplorer events are family-friendly programs welcoming learners of all ages. Hikes cover less ground to accommodate smaller strides and have more frequent stops to look\, listen\, and learn from our CraneExplorer guides. Interactive education programs include hands-on activities to engage our curiosity. CraneExplorer Programs are best suited for ages 5+. \nPlease be aware that we may walk for up to two hours and cover approximately 1-2 miles. As such\, adult discretion on your child’s ability to manage this activity is advised.
