Hi folks, This band is excellent, and I'm looking forward to joining them for this event, THE LOTHARS RETURN TO THE SOMERVILLE COMMUNITY GROWING CENTER This Saturday, The Lothars will be performing outdoors at the Somerville Community Growing Center. Joining the theremin-based outfit will be video improvisor Emile Tobenfeld, a.k.a. "Dr. T." This event is free. The show starts at around 8pm, with the video joining in at around 9pm (when it should be dark enough). Due to the local noise ordinance, the show must end by 10pm, so you'll have plenty of time to see The Lothars and still make it to that other show or party you wanted to attend! If you can, get to the Growing Center at 6pm and watch the Boston Dahn, a Korean Taoist group, perform "Arirang" (Joy of Finding Self), a Korean folk song. The song will be interpreted and presented in many different ways through movement, meditation and music, combining elements of Tai Chi, energy dance, voice and instrument. The Lothars performed once before at The Growing Center, back in 1998. It took five years, but we were finally invited back. We figure that, with the real estate boom, the neighborhood has turned over enough so that none of the residents remember our last performance there. THE SOMERVILLE COMMUNITY GROWING CENTER is at 22 Vinal Avenue in Somerville, MA (Near Union Square off Summer Street). The Growing Center is a 1/4 acre environmental education and cultural center. Initiated in 1994, it is a model for urban land use and collaboration between city government and local non-profit agencies. This urban oasis wa designed and built by the community and is maintained by volunteers. The Center provides a hands-on learning environment for local youth to learn about the natural world, science, community service and cultural issues. A volunteer group coordinates a full summer season of concerts and other events that are free to the public. [ http://www.thegrowingcenter.org ] THE LOTHARS are a theremin-based improvisational ensemble which includes violin, hammered dulcimer, log drum, breath-controlled synthesizer, prerecorded samples, and at least two theremins (a word not often seen in its plural form).
