Performed in the Oxford Community Arts Center Ballroom
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
