Live Music at Abrams Claghorn

## Pain of Örnithology \| June 13 at 1pm The "Pain of Ornithology" is a deeply personal, genre-blending project. Haroon Tahir's music explores complex themes of grief, human connection, and introspection. The instrumentation seamlessly blends elements of modern folk, indie, and contemporary chamber music, with the violin adding a sweeping, emotional texture to his acoustic and vocal arrangements.

SF Columbarium!

The SF Columbarium funeral home is a special place where remains are stored. This area was originally a cemetery and over the years the houses and businesses have closed in on the property. The central dome is an amazing collection of stained glass, tiled Flores and four levels of interesting art and niches. The outside is a gorgeous building . We will meet at the office at 10 am. Show and tell outside. Please do not sit on the monuments or put anything on them. No open water inside the dome. Eileen 415-305-0802
