Join us in person for a heart lifting, energetic afternoon of al fresco music by the Madison Japanese Taiko Drumming Group – “BENI DAIKO!” This heart throbbing performance will be given in the open air under the Burr Oak Welcoming Area (BOWA) at the Farley Center.

Taiko has been a part of Japanese culture for centuries, and carries great cultural significance and is part of important celebrations. The name of the group Beni Daiko carries a specific meaning: “Beni” means “Deep color of Red” which represents Madison and “taiko” means “drum” in the Japanese language.

The term “Taiko” has also come to refer to the art of Japanese drumming, also known as “kumi-daiko.”
You are welcome to come early, stay late, walk through the Natural Path Sanctuary and the Farley Center farms to enjoy all that the Wisconsin spring countryside has to offer!

We will have Farley Center honey available for $10. Please bring cash.

Annual Urban Harvest Fest

, , , , , , , , , ,

9/17/22

The Annual Urban Harvest Festival is Urban Triage’s first festival celebrating all we’ve sowed over the summer and since the beginning of Urban Triage. Our Harvest celebration is grounded in sustainability, growth, and community.

What we do and who we are would not be–and is not possible without the support and commitment of our funders, volunteers, co-conspirators, community members, and staff. Together we’ve planted, sowed, and reaped tremendous growth and have impacted thousands of vulnerable community members in the Greater Dane County Area.

We’re on a mission to empower and inspire transformation and breakthroughs in our community through collaboration and cooperation. And we’ve done just that, and we’re just getting started.

Please celebrate with us all that we’ve accomplished together at our Farm–which has offered healing and sustainability for families in the Dane County Area. The work we do matters. And the families we serve and inspire are living proof.

Join us at The Farley Center on Saturday, September 17, 2022. It’s a fun-filled day of live music, acrobatics, a DJ, a majorette performance, food, spoken word, wine, and beer.

“I came to learn about food sustainability for myself and for my family. I enrolled in the program to learn healthier habits and to learn how to make money. I’ve gotten so much more from the program. Community. Healing. And bonding with the people that matter the most–my children.” – SHBA Cohort 1″

Mount Horeb Comes Together For Ukraine Benefit

, , , , , , ,

4/3/22
Ukraine Benefit Flyer

More than two million Ukrainians to date have been displaced because of the brutal invasion by Russia. Millions more are suffering great danger and deprivation in a war zone. Humanitarian aid is needed on every front.

The local Southwest Wisconsin Area Progressives organization and the Farley Center for Peace, Justice and Sustainability will be hosting a benefit concert to raise funds for humanitarian relief for Ukraine on April 3, at the historic old schoolhouse, featuring Intemperance Collective, a band that plays folk-dance and Eastern European music. The Sunday afternoon concert will begin at 2 p.m. The Schoolhouse is located at 110 North Second Street, in downtown Mount Horeb.

The band delights audiences with soulful vocals and a wealth of musical styles. A bevy of traditional Baltic instruments will be heard at the concert, as well as traditional instruments such as the accordion, trumpet, and cello. Eastern European instruments, including the Tamboura, gadulka, and tupan will ring out through the schoolhouse. The joyous music will delight attendees and share the spirit of the region, and donations will help to stem the humanitarian crisis.

Suggested donation for the event is $15. Of course, additional donations for the cause are most welcome. ALL proceeds from this event will benefit both Americares and Doctors Without Borders, two accredited humanitarian organizations working for Ukrainian relief. The event will have many surprises, and a special raffle with prizes from local businesses. We want to offer a safe and comfortable concert experience for everyone, so proof of COVID vaccination or a negative test will be required to attend.

CRIS & ANN PLATA
Cris Plata was born in South Texas, the son of migrant workers. Those early days of living in different migrant camps and following the harvest from region to region exposed Cris to a wide range of musical experiences. While Cris and Ann have made their home in Wisconsin, the couple’s performance borrows much from Cris’s heritage and musical diversity. He describes his style as Mexican roots music, borrowing from norteno, conjunto and ranchera music. Cris’s life and musical partner Ann Plata is the bass player and backing vocalist for the duo. She received her rhythm education on the stage, in “real time” while playing with the great drummer Clyde Stubblefield.

With all of these influences, how do we describe Cris Plata’s music in a nutshell? Perhaps we will have to borrow the term Tex-Mex and redefine it. “Tex” would now stand for Texas singer-songwriters and “Mex” would stand for Mexican roots music. However, do not let this definition alone form your impression of his music. Come to the concert and the best definition will be your own.
