Durga Krishnana –Veena Exponent Gauri Shankar- Mrudangam    

Veena is the oldest of all the Indian musical string instruments. The origin of Veena can be traced to the Vedic period. This instrument allows all the delicate quartertones and the subtle nuances to be played with accuracy. Durga Krishnan is New England’s much sought after Veena artist and a beloved Teacher, and that is her best introduction. Whether giving lessons on the Veena to her students or enthralling the audience with her performance at community events, her passion for the instrument or her love for music is unquestionable. Durga Krishnan earned her Sangeet Vidwan (Scholar of Music) degree from the Carnatic Music College in Chennai. Subsequently, she learned Veena from the legendary Veena Maestro Dr. Chitti Babu. Durga has been teaching Veena in the Boston area since 1978. She works closely with the local area Bharat Natyam dance teachers, composing and performing music for dance. She has also been performing fusion concerts with Marc Rosie who is a professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Durga Krishnan, a faculty member at the Waltham, Mass.- based LearnQuest Academy of Music, is one of the 12 member strong organizing committee that has organized three day music conferences in Boston for the past two years.Admission Free – Donations welcome

Please  join us for an evening to celebrate up and coming artists Shannon Casey and Margarita Viera

The Artists’ Exchange, 50 Rolfe Street, Cranston, RI 02910  401.490.9475

Sunday, December 2, 4:00PM

Shannon Casey of Foster, RI will share a collection of oil paintings which emerged from her exploration of the relationship between music and art, inspired by her undergraduate research on synesthesia, a neurological disorder in which a person involuntarily experiences a certain sensory response as an effect of another, i.e. seeing music or hearing pictures. Casey’s fascination with the phenomenon led her to investigate it further, using painting as a vehicle of exploration.

Margarita Viera, a newcomer to the outsider art world, will showcase a selection of paintings and jewelry from her growing portfolio. Viera has been studying painting and jewelry design at The Artists’ Exchange since 2004, and is thrilled to have her first opening.

We hope you can join us for an evening celebrating art and self-expression

     The Arts Consulting Group seeks your interest or candidate recommendations to fill the Managing Director position at the Cornerstone Theater Company located in Los Angeles, California.     
  
ORGANIZATION
Cornerstone Theater Company was founded in 1986 by Alison Carey and Bill Rauch. It is a multi-ethnic, ensemble-based theater company that commissions and produces new plays of both original works and contemporary adaptations of classics, which combine the artistry of professionals and community collaborators.  By making theater with and for people of many ages, cultures and levels of theatrical experience, Cornerstone builds bridges between and within diverse communities in its home city of Los Angeles and nationwide.  It has achieved critical acclaim for both its inclusive approach to theater making and the quality of its artistic work, including numerous awards and recognition for its achievements.  Many of the country’s most significant regional theaters have sought to partner with Cornerstone in the creation of commissioned collaborations. 
       
The original Ensemble initially lived and worked in primarily rural communities, creating 12 epic musical productions in 10 states. The company helped define “community based theater” with innovative collaborations, producing work that engaged the collective talent of professionals and community artists.  In 1991, the first Bridge Show brought together over 50 community-based artists who toured 10,000 miles to each other’s hometowns. In 1992, Cornerstone settled in Los Angeles.  During its 20 plus years, the Ensemble has commissioned nearly 50 playwrights and produced over 60 new works of American adaptations of classics and original plays.
