The Mystical Arts of TibetSacred Music Sacred DanceSaturday, JULY 28 • 8 pm
Click to download PROGRAM NOTES The famed multiphonic singers of Tibet's Drepung Loseling Monastery perform ancient temple music and mystical masked dances drawn from sacred festivals. The Loseling monks have appeared all over the world, sharing the stage with artists from Philip Glass to the Beastie Boys. Robed in elaborate brocade costumes and playing traditional Tibetan instruments, they transport audiences with their spiritually uplifting chanting. In a program specially crafted to promote world healing, these lamas capture “the voice of serenity, the voice of survival and a hopeful message of peace” (San Francisco Chronicle). Cosponsored by the Student Programming Board with support from the Dartmouth Summer Arts Initiative. See dartmouth.edu/~lhc for complete Arts Initiative events list |
 “Remarkable...the music and the dance invoke sacred ecstasy.”
