Art & Music Support Network presents

Tamir Hendelman: Solo Piano

Sunday October 3, 1-4 PM

We have the singular pleasure and honor of presenting, again, a man we love as a person and as an artist: Tamir Hendelman.

He’s worked recently with Barbra Streisand, Natalie Cole, Diana Krall, Jeff Hamilton, Graham Dechter, and Patrick Williams.

Tamir’s latest, just-released CD, Destinations has rocketed up the jazz charts and is officially the #1 jazz record in the country this week. His debut album, Playground, did the same thing, stopping at #3, about a year ago.

Seeing him solo is like sitting at the feet of great pianists from the past 100 years and getting a little treasure from each of them. He is a tremendous channel for the power of music.

Seating is limited, please act quickly when you get these invitations; tickets will sell out.

As always, a piece of sculpture from Tanya Ragir Studios will be raffled to benefit Upward Bound House: this time there will be nine lucky winners!

Remember, even if you are unable to attend the concert, you may still purchase raffle tickets to support Upward Bound House.

Please come join us for wonderful food, adult beverages, companionship, and incomparable music.

Please go to www.artandmusicsupportnetwork.org to find out more and reserve your ticket.

We look forward to seeing you here.

Week of August 22-27, 2010

Lisa Doctor

The joy of creating fiction is like no other, but the blank page can certainly be daunting; how do we begin to write the stories that live inside us? How much information about our characters do we need before we get started?

Through a series of written exercises and discussion, we will explore what’s needed before embarking on a novel or short story. We’ll identify the universal theme of our story, analyze the emotional arc of the protagonist, and take a deeper look at the main characters by asking them to answer challenging questions designed to reveal their hidden truths. Each prompt will be chosen specifically for each character; no two writers will be given the same exercise. As the week progresses, the characters will open up about that which haunts and thrills them. They will explore their personal histories, their concerns about aging, their longings, disappointments, and uncertainties. We’ll ask them to speak freely about old wounds and their compassion for others. They’ll tell us what used to be important to them but no longer is. By the end of the week each writer will have a clearer view of the story and the main characters who populate it. There’ll be enough information to get started while leaving lots of room for spontaneity and surprises along the way so that the joy of writing can begin.
