SUMMARY:Facets of Indian Culture
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to welcome Layavinyasa back to the CMCH to share Facets of Indian Culture\, an exciting opportunity for all ages to experience Kuchipudi dance\, and learn more about the cultural values and beliefs that permeate this art form. \nKuchipudi is a south Indian classical dance form accompanied by Carnatic music. Dancers dramatically interpret songs with spiritual themes\, utilizing many symbolic gestures and rhythmic movements to embody the mythic figures of the songs. To further illustrate and explain the meanings that are part of the performances\, Layavinyasa will also showcase Indian material culture including figures and paintings that contain the same symbolic elements\, and which will help show the spiritual themes of the lyrics\, as well as illustrate community festivities. \nThe program will showcase figures such as Nataraja\, which is the Hindu god Shiva in his form as the cosmic dancer. He holds an hourglass-shaped drum in his upper right hand\, which in dance is depicted with a “damaru” hand gesture\, both symbolic of rhythm and time. A cobra uncoils from his right forearm\, while his palm shows the “abhaya” gesture\, which means to not fear evil. \nThe program will also feature the Dandiya Raas\, a popular communal dance performed during Navrathri Festival\, another type of portrayal of cosmic dance\, this time depicting Lord Krishna and friends\, and the cycle of time\, birth\, life\, death\, and rebirth. \nThe program is partly funded by CT Humanities\, and will be offered free to the public. There will be a Question and Answer session after the program. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Summer Concert Series: The Jedda La Rue Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Due to the local air quality alert\, this event will be held indoors at the museum!\nJoin us for a concert featuring music from The Jedda La Rue Quartet! Our vendors will be onsite from 5:00PM. Music will begin at 6:00PM! \nAbout the Band \nThe Jedda La Rue Quartet is presented by Anne Marie Williams\, better known as “Jedda\,” who crafts a masterful collaboration through intergenerational connections and multi-talented performing artists. \nOne of Jedda’s local mentors is living legend Emery Austin Smith—jazz pianist\, arranger\, and composer—who first encouraged her to vocally venture into those known and loved\, “classic standards.” Jedda magically connects across generations\, interweaving her mastery of early childhood education and educational program design with the arts\, and delights in sharing her own “pearls of wisdom through songs\, stories\, fitness\, theater\, music\, and movement” with young children and adults. \nAs K La Rue Educational Arts in Motion\, she has provided educational resources for schools\, teachers\, and parents in the Greater Hartford area for over 35 years. In the tradition of Hartford jazz excellence\, Jedda will share familiar songs with local flavor\, stories that connect us to the histories of the music and the community\, plus a little something special of her own. She will be joined by Hartford musical luminaries Alvin Carter\, Jr. on percussion\, Christopher Casey on piano\, and Stephen Porter on bass. \nThe concert series is generously supported by the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Trust Fund\, Bank of America N.A.\, Trustee\, the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation\, the CT Cultural Fund\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the CT Office of the Arts/DECD. \nLearn more about our summer concert series here. \nPhoto courtesy Ray Shaw.

SUMMARY:The Nation That Never Was: Reconstructing America’s Story\, with Kermit Roosevelt
DESCRIPTION:In his groundbreaking book\, The Nation That Never Was: Reconstructing America’s Story\, Professor Kermit Roosevelt III\, University of Pennsylvania School of Law professor\, argues that our idea of the Founders’ America and its values is not true. He believes we are not the heirs of the Founders\, but we can be the heirs of Reconstruction and its vision for equality. He offers a powerful and inspirational rethinking of our country’s history and uncovers a shared past that we can be proud to claim and use as a foundation to work toward a country that fully embodies equality for all. This alternate understanding of American identity opens the door to a new understanding of ourselves and our story\, and ultimately to a better America. \nJoin us as Roosevelt rethinks how American history is viewed\, and how the ideas underpinning the country have shifted in the past two centuries—and along with it\, what it means to be American. \nCopies of Roosevelt’s book will available at the event\, courtesy of our friends at River Bend Bookshop. \n$5 CMCH members\, $10 non-members; $8 for seniors. Light refreshments will be provided. Purchase tickets here\, or you may purchase at the door. Includes admission to the museum galleries — come early to view! \nQuestions? Contact Adult Programs Manager Natalie Belanger via email at natalie_belanger@chs.org\, or call (860) 236-5621 x289. \nAbout Our Speaker \nRoosevelt is the David Berger Professor for the Administration of Justice at the University of Pennsylvania School of Law. He is a graduate of Yale Law School\, and clerked for Supreme Court Justice David Souter. He is an advisory board member for the National Constitution Center’s Coalition of Freedom\, and a Distinguished Research Fellow of the Annenberg Public Policy Center. He contributes to major media outlets including TIME\, the New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Politico\, and NPR\, and is a frequent guest on national and international TV and radio programs. Roosevelt works in a diverse range of fields\, focusing on constitutional law and conflict of laws. He has published scholarly books and articles and is also the author of two novels.

SUMMARY:Summer Concert Series: The Undaunted Professor Harp
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an outdoor concert featuring music from The Undaunted Professor Harp! \nAbout the Artist \nHugh Holmes\, Jr.\, is a New England-born specialist in Texas-style blues\, alternating between harmonica and fervent vocals. He developed his playing style alongside many great blues artists. R&B icon Solomon Burke called him “Professor Harmonica Holmes” and blues legend Muddy Waters dubbed him “The Professional of the Harp.” Accepting both names\, he became Professor Harp. \nProfessor Harp exemplifies dynamism within the blues tradition. He can be found performing throughout New England with his backup of guitar\, bass\, and drums. His music and life reflect his dedication to his craft and his heritage\, and he defines “roots music” as not just limited to the past\, but fully engaged in the present\, and the songs are a vehicle for calling attention to injustice. \nTo learn more about Professor Harp\, visit: https://www.professorharp.com/ \nThe concert series is generously supported by the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Trust Fund\, Bank of America N.A.\, Trustee\, the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation\, the CT Cultural Fund\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the CT Office of the Arts/DECD. \nLearn more about our summer concert series here. \nImage courtesy Jimdad Kenney.
