SUMMARY:Bach's Lunch:  Raga Music Composition (Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Hari Maya Adhikari  and David Nugent will present a lecture on traditional Indian string instruments and their use in the creation and performance of Raga music. \nA raga  is a melodic framework for improvisation in\, and is central to\, Indian and Nepalese classical music. Each raga consists of an array of melodic structures with musical motifs; and\, from the perspective of the Indian tradition\, the resulting music has the ability to “color the mind” as it engages the emotions of the audience. \nHari Maya Adhikari is originally from Nepal\, holds a Master’s in Music from the Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi\, India\, and taught music at a university in Nepal. She performs for Indian\, Bhutanese\, and Nepali communities in New Hampshire and throughout the Northeast\, especially for religious events and important traditional celebrations. She plays classical Indian music as well as sacred and popular tunes\, and composes some of her own music in the South Asian traditions. \n  \nThis event will be held in our historic Recital Hall. It is free of charge and open to the public\, thanks in part to the generosity of the Walker Fund. Donations are appreciated.

SUMMARY:A Jazz Milestone: A Miles Davis Tribute (CCMS Fundraiser)

This year’s event is “A Jazz Milestone: A Miles Davis Tribute\,” by the CCMS All-Stars (Russ Ryan\, Zeb Cruikshank\, Andrew Grosvenor\, Matt Hogan and Jared Steer). \nIn addition to being one of the all-time greatest jazz trumpeters\, Davis is also known for assembling some of the finest ensembles in jazz\, featuring musicians who would go on to become jazz legends themselves. \n“Kind of Blue” is considered one of his greatest recordings\, due in no small part to the contributions of his bandmates – John Coltrane\, Cannonball Adderley\, Bill Evans\, Paul Chambers\, Jimmy Cobb\, and Wynton Kelly. \nJoin CCMS faculty & friends as we pay tribute to this late-’50s era of Miles Davis’ music\, and perform selections from the critically-acclaimed “Kind of Blue”\, along with other Miles compositions of that time period. \nSpace is limited\, so advance purchase is highly recommended. \nWe’re offering multiple ticketing options for this lively concert: table seats at $75 each and balcony seating for $30 ea. \nFull tables for a group of four can be purchased for $250 (a savings of $50) and includes four drink tickets. \nYour ticket purchase at any level includes a pre-show reception from 5:30-6:30 PM in BNHS’s upstairs Cantin Room\, where you can meet the musicians! \nOrder your tickets today at ccanh.com here
