Coming up on TFR for Wednesday, 5/6/09

Pianist Omar Herrera-Arizmendi joins us live to perform music from Cinco on Cinco, his recital celebrating this week's Mexican holiday of liberation, to be presented at MECA.

National Geographic Society archeologist & curator, Fredrik Hiebert, gives us a tour of Afghanistan: Hidden Treasures from the National Museum, Kabul, on view at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.

And artists Kenny Browning & Bryan Taylor chat about their mobile creations, "The Iron Maiden and Party Boat," inspired by a Viking warship [photo courtesy of the Orange Show & the artist] and "Santa Car III." Those are a couple of the 250 sublime & absurd vehicles in this Saturday's 22nd Annual Houston Art Car Parade.

Join us for an up-close look at the Houston area's diverse & vibrant arts scene on "The Front Row," weekdays at Noon on 88.7 FM & KUHF HD-1 ... and 10pm on HD-2!
