An evening of adventurous sound pairs Tuvan throat singing with experimental saxophone soundscapes. Alash, a trio renowned for xöömei, the art of producing multiple tones at once, brings traditional songs shaped by a light touch of contemporary ideas. Trained since childhood by Tuvan musician Kongar-ool Ondar and educated at Kyzyl Arts College as Tuva opened to Western influences, the group earned recognition in international xöömei competitions both together and individually. Their music weaves intricate harmonies, Western instruments, and contemporary forms while remaining true to Tuvan roots. The program also features Kyle Press presenting the Susurrus / Murmuration release show on Strange Mono. Press builds improvised worlds with saxophones, flutes, throat singing, whistles, bells, and more, drawing on looping, delays, ring modulation, distortion, and amplification.

The textures can turn funky, and the evolving pedal setup feels almost alive. Accessibility information: there is a ramp into the lobby, then seven stairs lead into the theater. Supported by a sponsorship grant from the Penn Treaty Special Services District.

In Stewartsville, NJ, a hands-on wire and bead workshop invites participants to craft a shimmering spider sculpture that leans more enchanting than eerie. Using simple wire and a mix of beads, attendees will build a three-dimensional, poseable piece that works beautifully as a handmade accent for shelves, desk edges, or decorative displays.

All structural wire, professional tools such as wire cutters and round-nose pliers, a variety of beads including faceted crystals, pearl-like rounds, natural lava stone, and metallic elements, and step-by-step guidance are provided.

This free Valley Talk takes place in person at the Valley Green Inn in Philadelphia or online via Zoom and features forager and author Tama Matsuoka Wong. She presents a practical way to see unwanted plants differently by managing them and putting them to use as food, teas, and simple structures, turning what is often removed into something useful. As a self-described failed gardener turned contrarian, she pays attention to what grows naturally and even supplies markets and chefs with pounds of edible invasive plants. She will delve into the ideas behind her book Into the Weeds, exploring how these plants connect to food, the environment, and health, and she will share approachable ways to use common weeds found nearby. Wong describes herself as a forager, weed eater, wild farmer, and meadow doctor. Her books include Foraged Flavor, a 2013 James Beard Award nominee, Scraps, Wilt & Weeds with chef Mads Refslund, which received an IACP Award for Food Matters, and Into the Weeds: How to Garden Like a Forager.
