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.

San Francisco Zoo (Discover & Go)

Let’s meet at the SF Zoo on June 6 🐒🌿 Starting to put this group together, so this is meant to be an easy, low-key way to get out, get some fresh air, and meet a few new people. We’ll meet up, walk around, check out the animals, and just enjoy being outside. No pressure to stay the whole time. The tickets are through Discover & Go and are already available, but they go fast and right now only June dates are showing. If you’re interested, it’s worth grabbing a pass sooner rather than later: [https://www.discoverandgo.org/](https://www.discoverandgo.org/) You’ll just need a library card to reserve one. Planning to meet around 11 near the entrance, and we’ll take it from there. If it sounds like your kind of day, feel free to join 🙂
