A TRIBUTE TO WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD 

Saturday October 19th 
Performed in the Oxford Community Arts Center Ballroom

 3:30 pm
TICKETS

The entire Ball Room will be decorated with flowers, much like a garden, thanks to the Des Fleurs Garden Club.  The phrase "the dance of life" symbolizes the path to paradise where fatigue accompanies a smile, a result of practice being precise, clean, eloquent and truthful.  Each of the celebrated women named below will come from across the globe to gather at Miami University over Homecoming Weekend.  Their delicate strength will be featured as they direct their alert minds to the virtuosic performance of the sitar, seven harps, rare percussion instruments, traditional string instruments, and more -  a rare combination of magical grace.  

This unfathomable combination of artists includes:

• Lynnelle Ediger, Artistic Director of the American Youth Harp Ensemble - this is a ten-member harp ensemble who have traveled across the globe and performed at prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, The White House and prestigious venues in Europe

• Shelby Bowling and Sheila Houlahan - trained in Opera at Peabody Conservatory and Manhattan School of Music will perform with the Global Rhythms Orchestra;

• A special appearance of Kung Dong, first prize winner of the Yehudi Menuhin Competition in a special tribute to Maestro Ravi Shankar (3.30 PM show only)

• Vocal Spectrum, an award-winning vocal quartet from St. Louis, Missouri (3.30 PM show only)

• Marion Peraza de Webb (former member of the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra and a product of El Sistema, Venezuela) combines with 22 string players from the Allegro and Vivace Ensembles;

• Anupama Bhagwat, female sitar virtuoso from India along with the Global Rhythms Orchestra

and other special guests 

The Matinee shows also bring in the power of ethnic fashion with artist Anshuma Damani from India, allowing for every artist to be adorned with bright colors, artist Prashant Miranda painting the events "live in action" and some food tasting.
