Kojiro Umezaki (UC Irvine): $400.00 for Tabla Virtuoso, Sandeep Das, and Screening w/ Morgan Neville. Co-Sponsorship
Two-time Grammy nominee, composer, and tabla virtuoso Sandeep Das will offer two presentations on Thursday, December 5, 2013. The first (2:00-3:20pm) will begin with a brief introduction to his instrument, the tabla, and rhythmic material in Hindustani classical music. It will be followed by a discussion of his music and work as a core member of The Silk Road Ensemble and founder of HUM, both of which address issues of entrepreneurship within the arts on a global scale. A second, informal workshop (4:00-5:00pm) examining in further depth the tabla and rhythmic cycles in North Indian classical music will follow.
A screening of the documentary film Live from Tanglewood featuring The Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma, directed by award-winning documentary filmmaker Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom), and released by Sony Masterworks in September 2013 is scheduled for the evening (5:30pm). Mr. Das and Mr. Neville will join as guest presenters of the documentary for a pre-screening introduction. The approximate running time for the documentary is 80 minutes.
