Cheri's Books & Music

Please join us for Art-a-Whirl 2016 in Julie’s studio (#128) in the Thorp Building! We’ll start off the weekend with a Friday night performance of Terry Riley’s “In C,” the 1964 groundbreaking piece “born in the blue fog of Parisian jazz” that, according to Philip Oltermann at "The Guardian," “snatches the baton from the composer and hands it to the musicians.” Musicians include Julie Johnson, flute; Jeff Lambert, guitar; Bob Stacke and Paul Raukar, percussion; Carrie Vecchione, oboe; and Rolf Erdahl and Eric Struve, bass. Performance at 7:30! On the walls will be photographs by Bob Stacke and the hand-sewn notebooks I’ve been making out of recycled materials—in particular all of the calendars and day planners I’ve been holding onto for years because the pictures were too pretty to throw away. And please bring your little ones to create with us at our kids’ art table! One or both of us will be in the studio all weekend (Friday from 6-10, Saturday noon to 8 and Sunday noon to 5). Please stop by and say hello!
