Four-time Blues Music Award winner and educator Jason Ricci leads an all-level harmonica seminar in Syracuse, New York. Participants are welcome to record, take photos, and keep notes, and are encouraged to bring a recording device, a notebook, and at least one harmonica in the key of C. The program consists of two interactive sessions, each 90 minutes. The first centers on playing solo, with attention to building tone, producing single notes, embouchure, rhythm, and techniques like bending and overblows. It also covers root notes, the 12-bar blues form, timing, and phrasing, plus listening skills, weaving licks and riffs into improvisation, practice routines, and the value of playing with the Putva band. The second session introduces basic harmony for blues improvisation, including scales, major triads, sixth and seventh chord arpeggios, and concepts such as approach tones, enclosures, and chromaticism to support a simple jazz-informed approach to the blues. Some fundamentals will be addressed briefly, so reviewing those basics in advance is suggested. Questions are encouraged at any time, and participants can jump in with a raised hand throughout the seminar.

CNY Artist Initiative featured artist Renqian Yang leads a gallery talk that offers an inside look at her practice and the special exhibition Renqian Yang: Neither Here nor Elsewhere. Light refreshments will be available afterward, and admission is Pay-What-You-Wish. Yang’s work centers on porcelain and the idea of duality. The material is both delicate and enduring, used for everything from industrial components to ornate objects, born of earth yet, once fired, seeming to transcend it. Solid to the touch yet luminous in light, porcelain has captivated artists and collectors for centuries. Working in China, Yang traced the material’s origins back more than 1,300 years. Her porcelain forms echo the sharp lines of vibrant urban landscapes while carrying organic gestures that suggest human feeling. Motifs from twentieth century commercial prints meet the spirituality of classical brush painting, and the clarity of pure white porcelain often stands in striking contrast to vivid color. Neither Here nor Elsewhere brings together pieces created in her Oswego studio and during residencies in China and North Carolina. Grounded in place yet attuned to porcelain’s universality, the work uses the medium for inquiry, reflection, and self expression. Organic and constructed forms merge with personal experiences and shared histories, exploring how emotions endure, change, and connect people across time, place, and culture.

At the Center for Sound & Ceremony, Amy and Meg facilitate a Moon Manifestation Ritual rooted in Keiko’s Power Wish method. Held just ahead of the New Moon or Full Moon Sound Journey, this gathering focuses on writing clear, timely intentions that match the current lunar phase and astrology.

The experience is designed to bring dreams into sharper relief while aligning inner state with the future being called in. No prior astrology knowledge is required.

Guided by teachings from The Power Wish by Keiko, the session encourages releasing doubts about success, renewing commitment to goals and purpose, welcoming recognition and career opportunities, cultivating structure and lasting abundance, and setting down burdens that are ready to be released. A rich soundscape of crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, gongs, chimes, drums, the crystal lyre, and other ceremonial instruments invites deep rest and helps balance the nervous system. The vibrations assist with clearing emotional heaviness while anchoring intentions in a calm, grounded state. Participants can settle in, reflect on recent progress, realign with strength and stability, and leave feeling clear, centered, and empowered. Sound healing supports the body, mind, and nervous system through vibration, often bringing profound relaxation, reduced stress and anxiety, emotional release, sharper focus, improved sleep and physical restoration, heightened intuition, and a renewed sense of balance. Some instruments may be played near or around the body so the resonance can be felt directly. Comfortable clothing and a water bottle are recommended, and a journal can be helpful for reflections. Mats, blankets, bolsters, and eye masks are provided for comfort. Please arrive on time, since the building’s entry doors lock after hours and late entry is not possible.

Bill Disselhorst and his wife Anne built Fiore Market Café in Los Angeles into a place known for its tight-knit community and its fresh bread, and shortly after it earned a spot on Yelp’s Top 100 Restaurants in America, the café was sold. Years later Bill returns to Casperia, a medieval Italian town where his love of food first took root. There he slows his pace, kneads dough by hand, shares meals with neighbors, and reconnects with the enduring ties that remain when other things fall away. Presented through intimate, observational scenes, poetic moments, and rich portraits of Casperia’s residents, the film reflects on human connection, the search for belonging, and the simple rituals that make a truly satisfying meal. Doors open before the screening, and a Q&A follows.
