Himalaya Heritage Music Group Featured in Bach's Lunch Programs on April 5 & 12
Concord Community Music School presents two free Bach's Lunch programs in April, a lecture and a concert featuring four skilled local musicians from the Himalaya Heritage Music Group.
On Thursday, April 5, at 12:10pm, Sharad Gurung and Sagar Khatiwada present a Bach's Lunch Lecture,
"East meets West: Connections between Nepali and Western Music." The musicians will explore cultural sharing of musical instruments and traditional harmonies, with examples from genres including children's, devotional, and patriotic music. Instruments from their home country of Nepal will help illustrate their talk.
The following week, on Thursday, April 12, at 12:10pm, Gurung and Khatiwada participate with two of their fellow members of the Himalaya Heritage Music Group in a Bach's Lunch Concert entitled
"Nepali Music in America: A New Tradition." The musicians are Sharad Gurung, keyboards; Shyam Nepali, sarangi; Harimaya Adhikari, harmonium & vocals; and Sagar Khatiwada, tabla. The performers, all native to Nepal, are highly trained in these musical traditions and sought after for public concerts and traditional celebrations throughout New England.
Bach's Lunch programs are free and open to the public, and take place from 12:10 to 12:50 p.m. on the first and second Thursdays of each month, November through May, in the Music School's Recital Hall, 23 Wall Street, downtown Concord.
"Music of the Americas" is the theme of this year's Bach's Lunch programs, which follows upon last year's series entitled "Musical Migrations." Throughout this year's series, programs will feature music of North, Central, and South America, reflecting the many cultural traditions present in the Western Hemisphere. As a member of the Steering Committee of Welcoming Concord, the Music School has multiple programs that advance the goal of warmly welcoming New Americans into the cultural, economic, and civic life of the region.
