if i understood correctly, the songs and dances are performed specifically for the new year and for special events such as the dalai lama's birthday.
singers from the local cultural group . . i think the host said it was their first time performing the piece.
the gong exhibit was one chanda experienced in the spring and summer, but which i hadn't seen yet.
"finding stillness within anger . . "
the gongs were chosen by different musicians . .
a docent explained the procedure and then attendees could take a turn. it was very crowded so we decided to pass on trying it during this visit. we went downstairs for a cup of tea before heading home (chanda went to the library at school which was just a few blocks away).
it's a very beautiful exhibit and i look forward to returning. i think the children gathered around her were excited about taking a turn with the gong.
it was a fun event . .
walking home . .
