SUMMARY:Summer Concert Series: Sandeep Das presents Taal Mudra
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Sandeep Das presents Taal Mudra: A Confluence of Indian Music and Rhythm. \nBecause this performance is rooted in cultural and religious practices\, we will be marking off an area of our lawn for attendees to observe customs of respect to our performers. \nPicnic activities\, vendors\, and lawn games will continue as usual outside of this marked area. \nAs always\, we are open at 5pm to enjoy the museum and vendors! Music will begin at 6pm. \nAbout the Artist \nJoin us for an unforgettable evening of spontaneous improvisations\, dazzling rhythm\, and mesmerizing dance! \nCurated by Grammy-winning Tabla maestro Sandeep Das\, this special program will take the audience on an exciting journey through the world of North Indian Classical Music and Kathak dance. From ancient compositions to enchanting displays of virtuosic drumming and footwork\, it’s sure to be a night to remember! \nAbout Sandeep Das (Curator): \nA Grammy winning-musician\, Guggenheim Fellow\, and groundbreaking composer of new works\, Sandeep Das carries forward a 4\,000 year-old legacy of traditional Indian music that has been passed down from Guru (teacher) to Shishya (student) for generations. Das has been described as a “creator of myths with Houdini-like skills” (The Sydney Morning Herald\, Australia) and has collaborated with top musicians and ensembles from across the globe such as Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble\, with whom he has performed for the past 21 years\, as well as Paquito D’Rivera\, Bobby McFarin\, and iconic orchestras like the New York Philharmonic\, Boston Symphony\, and Chicago Symphony\, among others. \nPassionate about sharing his knowledge with the next generation\, he founded Das Music School in 2015\, which provides Indian Classical Music instruction to students worldwide. This concert showcases a few of Das’ local student apprentices\, offering a unique glimpse into the “Guru-Shishya Parampara\,” where some of the most impactful learning for up-and-coming artists happens live on stage during a performance. \nAbout the Performers: \n \nBailey O’Donnell is an apprentice of maestro Sandeep Dance and a Tabla player\, percussionist\, and composer. A classically-trained musician\, her experiences at the intersection of two diverse rhythmic traditions give her a unique perspective and ability to facilitate exchanges between Western Classical and Indian Classical Music. Bailey has had the honor of performing with her Guru at the Chan Centre in Vancouver\, Canada and the National Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C.\, and has also performed with various ensembles at venues like the Chicago Symphony Hall\, Carnegie Hall\, and TivoliVredenburg in the Netherlands. We are pleased to have supported Bailey’s apprenticeship with Mr. Das during the 25th year of our Southern New England Apprenticeship Program. \nShonool Malik is a North Indian Kathak dancer. She is a student of maestro Sandeep Das and Sangita Chatterjee\, and her initial dance training was under Gretchen Hayden. Shonool has presented many dance masterclasses for children through various organizations\, and also has over a decade of experience in higher education administration. \nSriram Akella is a promising young Tabla player who has been learning from maestro Sandeep Das since he was just 6 years old. He currently attends Stoughton High School and recently performed with his Guru at the Newton Cultural Council’s annual Linda Platt Newton Festival of the Arts. \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.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: ¡Pleibol!
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the in-person opening reception for the exhibition\, ¡Pleibol! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues / En los barrios y las grandes ligas.

To help celebrate baseball\, we will have some fun family activities on the lawn. Come toss a ball or try your hand at stick ball!    \nBaseball is the national pastime. But it’s also an American export\, one with a tradition that’s constantly evolving. ¡Pleibol! shares the experiences of Latinas and Latinos whose love for the game and incredible talent have changed baseball and transformed American culture forever.  \nThroughout the last century\, Latinas and Latinos have used baseball to chase their dreams\, challenge prejudice\, and build communities. Whether in the barrios or the big leagues\, in rural backyards or barn-storming travel teams\, they left a mark on how we see\, hear\, and play the game.  \n This event is free and open to the public! The reception begins at 2:00 pm. Light refreshments will be served.  \nPlease let us know if you will be able to join us by August 7.  RSVP by clicking here.  Questions?

SUMMARY:Tavern Talks
DESCRIPTION:The dozens of tavern signs in our Auditorium once hung over busy public spaces where Connecticans ate\, drank\, slept\, argued\, celebrated\, gambled\, danced\, and courted. On select Sundays at 2:00 pm\, drop in for a gallery talk about tavern life in early Connecticut. You’ll learn how to decode the symbolism on some of our most inscrutable signs\, and about why so few of these once-ubiquitous items have survived until today. \nThis gallery talk is included in regular museum admission. There’s no need to pre-register! \nQuestions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at nbelanger@connecticutmuseum.org.
