IF NOT NOW Exhibit

Wednesday – Saturday: 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
Sundays: Noon – 4

The exhibit, If Not Now, on view from July 16 to October 16th presents artwork by eight artists whose work draws attention to destructive environmental impacts dating to the beginning of the industrial revolution. The work posits the questions: what can be done now; when might the next impact occur and who will take these challenges on?

Alma Ensemble Chamber Trio

The third concert in the Zelma Riven Wonderful Wednesdays Summer Music Series.
The Alma Ensemble was founded by flutist Sarah Wardle Jones, clarinetist Michelle Smith Johnson, and pianist Erica Sipes. It was birthed from a desire of the founding members to create music in a way that is empowering and personally resonant. They place a high priority on playing music by other women composers, educating their audiences by creating context for the pieces we select, and challenging traditional performance paradigms that inhibit, rather than enhance, their ability to communicate and connect with an audience. In fact, they chose the name “Alma” because it speaks to their mission on several levels. Because they want to do their part in promoting the artistic work of women, they chose Alma Mahler as their namesake. “Alma” also means “nourishment” or “soul” which is something that they endeavor to bring to each performance for themselves and their audiences.

Individual tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Online Tickets: https://www.jewishmuseumportsmouth.org/music-series

ZZ Top

“That Little Ol’ Band From Texas” has been at it for well over a half century, delivering rock, blues and boogie on the road and in the studio to millions of devoted fans. With iconography as distinctive as their sound, ZZ TOP is virtually synonymous with beards, hotrod cars, spinning guitars and that magic keychain, all of which transcend geography and language.

They have sold hundreds of millions of records over the course of their career, have been officially designated as Heroes of The State of Texas, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (by Keith Richards, no less) and have been referenced in countless cartoons and sitcoms. They are true rock icons and, against all odds, they’re really just doing what they’ve always done. ZZ TOP abides!
