Crimson Canary Concert on the Lawn!

Crimson Canary is BACK and playing a lovely evening concert for us on the Library lawn. They will be performing classic vocals from the 40s, 50s and 60s in several languages. Bring a blanket or chair, relax, and let the music move you! (Rain date Friday, August 5th, 6-7pm)

Crimson Canary consists of guitarist/vocalist David Chu and vocalist Lonnie Chu, known for their vintage music sung in various languages. They also perform and educate about flamenco music.

David Chu began his music career as a teen playing piano and percussion, but soon switched to guitar. An accomplished soloist, he provides accompaniment and is the group’s arranger and composer. He delights audiences with the variety of genres he plays on either guitar, including flamenco, jazz, blues, Brazilian, and even Beatles.

Lonnie Chu, manager and singer, has also played folk guitar and bluegrass mandolin and enjoys singing in various languages and genres. A retired professor of Spanish, she delights in teaching audiences how to participate in flamenco’s rhythmic hand-clapping (palmas).

Solar Powered Printing!
Aug 5 @ 1:00 pm – 1:45 pm

The Sun Print Solar Paper lets you make beautiful pictures by placing objects on the paper and exposing it to the sun. Place a fern, flower, or other object on this special paper and set it in the sun briefly. We will rinse the paper in water and watch as a beautiful long-lasting image appears!  The paper undergoes a chemical change when exposed to sunlight. Save the print by soaking in water then drying.
