upcoming events at the gallery—
tarot salon and children’s art marathon!

In between getting ready for Book Expo, preparing for a concert with my local orchestra, and everyday life, we also have some great events planned at Kris Waldherr Art and Words gallery. (Yup, it’s a busy time here!) If you live in the NYC area, we hope to see you at one or both of these events:

Friday May 29, 7 – 9:30 pm
TAROT AND PSYCHIC SALON
Free admission and refreshments.

As featured on CNN.com, Time Out New York, and Yelp! The Seer’s Salon returns for the merry month of May on the weekend after Memorial Day. This month, we’re featuring readings from:

~ Kris Waldherr, creator of The Goddess Tarot;
~ NYC’s urban shaman Mama Donna Henes;
~ And famed psychic Christina Ambrosino.

Also available: Chair massages from Fran Dunston of Fusion Therapy Spa at $1 a minute. Readings are available at a variety of prices on the question of your choice.

Sunday, June 14, 11 am – 6 pm
FLATBUSH CHILDREN’S ART MARATHON

Is your child a budding Matisse or Da Vinci? On June 14th, come by with your emerging artist any time between 11 am and 6 pm. In about an hour’s time, they can create their very own addition to our next art
exhibit, BROOKLYN: THROUGH A CHILD’S EYES. We’ll provide the art supplies: paper, paint, markers, crayons and more. They provides the inspiration.

This special event is meant to be a wonderful opportunity for children to make art, share it with the world, and (most of all) have fun!

Can’t make our art marathon? No worries: Stop by the gallery before June 14 to drop off your child’s contribution. Maximum paper size: 8 3/4 x 11 inches. Questions? E-mail Kris Waldherr at kris at artandwords dot com.

Suggested admission: $5 per child to cover art supplies and framing.
(At the end of the exhibit, framed art is returned to the child to keep as a keepsake.)

Art exhibit opens Saturday, July 11, 2009.

Also, if you’re a classical music lover, I’ll be playing cello with the Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra this weekend in a performance of Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde. I’m very excited—Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth) is one of my favorite pieces of music.

Here’s the info:

MAHLER – Das Lied von der Erde

Nicholas Armstrong, Artistic Director
Stephanie Houtzeel, mezzo-soprano
Matthew Garrett, tenor

The concert takes place at St. Ann’s Church, located at 157 Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights. For more info, visit the Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra website here.

If you have never heard Das Lied von der Erde, you’re in for a real treat. Last night’s rehearsal included mezzo-soprano Stephanie Houtzeel for the first time. She was simply transcendent.I think it’s going to be a very special concert! Plus it’s the last one of our season.
