SHELF LIFE at The Waldo
Join us for the Maine Theatrical Premiere of SHELF LIFE on Friday, December 6th. We will be joined by Filmmaker Ian Cheney, Executive Producer Robyn Metcalfe and Producer Meredith Salazar for a very special evening centered around CHEESE. Doors open at 5:30pm and you are invited to enjoy a pop-up local cheese market in the gallery! Taste different cheeses from local makers such as @lakinsgorgescheese , @fuzzyudder and @balfourfarm . Chat with the makers and buy some delicious cheeses for your upcoming holiday gatherings! Then, at 6:30pm, the Maine premiere of SHELF LIFE will be shown. This beautifully crafted film is a global exploration of cheesemaking in unexpected places that draws surprising parallels between the aging of cheese and the human experience, offering a sensory and philosophical journey into time, decay, and craftsmanship. SHELF LIFE launches with an unusual premise: might spending time among people who age cheese yield insights about what it’s like for us humans to grow old?The 76 minute film will be followed by a brief Q&A with Ian, Robyn and Meredith. Afterwards at 8:30, the filmmaking team is offering an intimate, immersive experience where cheese becomes a metaphor for life. This portion of the evening is being held next door at @the.waldoboro.inn and features the cheesemakers listed above plus @morseskraut . Limited seating for the first 25 people to sign up. Please register for this separately at the link in bio.Please share this unique cheese lovers opportunity with your friends… hope to see you there!@iancheney @the.waldoboro.inn@mainecheeseguild @lakinsgorgescheese @morseskraut @balfourfarm @fuzzyudder

Come and enjoy “An Evening with Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas” on Saturday, October 12th at 7:30pm. Cutting-edge fiddle and cello explorations of Scottish and global music! Here playing Neil Gow’s “Neil Gow’s Wife” and “The Old Reel”. The musical partnership between consummate performer Alasdair Fraser, “the Michael Jordan of Scottish fiddling”, and brilliant Californian cellist Natalie Haas spans the full spectrum between intimate chamber music and ecstatic dance energy. Over the last 20 years of creating a buzz at festivals and concert halls across the world, they have truly set the standard for fiddle and cello in traditional music. They continue to thrill audiences internationally with their virtuosic playing, their near-telepathic understanding and the joyful spontaneity and sheer physical presence of their music.This seemingly unlikely pairing of fiddle and cello is the fulfillment of a long-standing musical dream for Fraser. His search eventually led him to find a cellist who could help return the cello to its historical role at the rhythmic heart of Scottish dance music, where it stood for hundreds of years before being relegated to the orchestra. The duo’s debut recording, Fire & Grace, won the coveted the Scots Trad Music “Album of the Year” award, the Scottish equivalent of a Grammy. Since its release, the two have gone on to record five more critically acclaimed albums that blend a profound understanding of the Scottish tradition with cutting-edge string explorations. In additional to performing, they both have motivated generations of string players through their teaching at fiddle camps across the globe.A limited number of Front Row seats are available for $45, General admission tickets are available for $30 in advance, $35 the day of the event. If this show has not sold out, a limited number of tickets may be available at the box office for starting at 6:30pm. *Get $10 off if you purchase a ticket to this performance AND
