TOP 5

TONIGHT

“The Heron’s Journey” performed by Adam Booth
7:30 PM
The Cherry Arts
102 Cherry St, Ithaca

“The Heron’s Journey uses spoken storytelling, quilting, and paper sculpture to tell an allegory filled with magic, challenges to opposition, and transformation.

Some listeners hear it through the lens of power dynamics, listening to intuition, and environmentalism or access to the natural world. All of Adam's stories are family-friendly in content, however "The Heron's Journey" is intended for mature listeners.”

Sona Jobarteh
7:30 PM
Cornell Concert Series
Bailey Hall
230 Garden Ave, Ithaca

“Preserving her musical past, Sona Jobarteh innovates to support a more humanitarian future. The spirit of her musical work stands on the mighty shoulders of the West African griot tradition; she is a living archive of the Gambian people. Her singing and kora playing, while fronting her band, spring directly from this heritage.”

Local Love

Blocks in Bloom (Corning)

Have you always wanted a garden but have no idea how to begin? Do you have a patch of boring ol’ yard in front of your house that would look so much better with flowering plants?

You are in luck! Established just last year, Blocks in Bloom is a self-sustaining program that connects neighbors with local volunteers & gardeners. Completely free of charge and 100% volunteer-based, this program helps establish new flower beds with native and drought-tolerant plants from other nearby gardens. Once the newly planted garden starts thriving, plants are divided out to start new gardens elsewhere in the neighborhood. And so on and so forth!

If you’d like to learn more, visit the program’s Facebook Page here.
