SUMMARY:CRS Presents Jessica Ackerley\, Sarah Manning\, and Alma Laprida in Concert
DESCRIPTION:CRS is delighted to present M³ (Mutual Mentorship for Musicians)’ Winter Solstice 2021 Cohort member Jessica Ackerley (guitar) with Sarah Manning (saxophone) and Alma Laprida (tromba marina) on June 18\, 2023 at 5pm in the award-winning White Room at CRS. An audience Q&A will take place following the concert.  \nThis trio’s music is mostly centered around improvisation with a melding of modern jazz and ambient music. But the ensemble is highly unique with the addition of the string instrument tromba marina\, especially in this context because it was originally an instrument for Rennaissance music. \nA tromba marina\, marine trumpet or nuns’ fiddle\, (Fr. trompette marine; Ger. Marientrompete\, Trompetengeige\, Nonnengeige or Trumscheit\, Pol. tubmaryna) is a triangular bowed string instrument used in medieval and Renaissance Europe that was highly popular in the 15th century in England and survived into the 18th century. The tromba marina consists of a body and neck in the shape of a truncated cone resting on a triangular base. It is usually four to seven feet long\, and is a monochord (although some versions have sympathetically-vibrating strings). It is played without stopping the string\, but playing natural harmonics by lightly touching the string with the thumb at nodal points. Its name comes from its trumpet like sound due to the unusual construction of the bridge\, and the resemblance of its contour to the marine speaking-trumpet of the Middle Ages. — from Wikipedia\, the free encyclopedia \nTickets are $20 general admission and $10 for students and are available in advance on eventbrite.com. If not sold out\, tickets will also be available at the door for cash only. Some seating may be on blankets on the floor.  \nThe concert will take place in the award-winning White Room at CRS. Please note that the venue is accessible only via a flight of stairs and is not wheelchair accessible. Proof of vaccination is not required but the wearing of masks is encouraged. \nThe White Room at CRS is located between 12th & 13th streets\, above Think Coffee\, in Manhattan. The nearest subway station is 14th St / Union Square (4/5/6\, N/R/Q/W\, L). \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nSarah Manning is a saxophonist and composer. She has released four critically acclaimed albums.

SUMMARY:A Rooftop Sufi Solstice Celebration (indoors in case of rain)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in celebrating the Summer Solstice with NOoSPHERE Arts as they kick off their WE ARE NATURE: Rising and Falling annual rooftop series. Held in the spectacular\, one-of-a-kind setting of wildflower meadows stretching across the roofs of an industrial plant against the iconic backdrop of the NYC skyline\, the event will be centered around a Sufi opening ritual honoring nature’s cycles\, performed by Whirling Dervish Farima Berenji. Farima—a Sufi Master and Magi from the bloodline of Iranian Zoroastrian Magi—and her sacred dancers will be accompanied by the klezmer music and Sephardic folk melodies of The Shul Band. The ceremony has been designed as a unique blend of Muslim and Jewish elements— epitomizing the possibility of interfaith collaboration. Join us at Sunset to mark this special occasion! \nThe main event will involve solo acts\, duets and a whirling performance in which several participants— including Cyr wheelers—will interpret the movements of individual planets around a star. The show will also feature poetry readings and storytelling by Master Farima and be accompanied by the live music of the Shul Band. Following the whirlers’ performances\, The Shul Band will continue playing against the darkening night sky. \n*Update: We have a Rain Plan in place with an indoor option for the performances\, with view of the skyline! \nCRS is one of the sponsors of the event. The following members of our community will be whirling at the event under the direction of Farima: Fanny Pérez\, Juliet Rania\, Naeema Butt\, Oihana Garde\, Veronica Santiago\, and Wendi Weng\, as well as visiting artists Bani and Jeff from Farima’s Simorgh Dance Collective in CA. \nTickets are available via Eventbrite:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/rooftop-season-opening-event-an-ecstatic-solstice-celebration-tickets-640904210747 \nA Sema Gathering (free) and two Whirling workshops (Basic and advanced Whirling practices) will be offered on the day following the event (Sun\, Jun 25: Beginner: 12-1:30 pm\, Advanced: 2-3:30 pm).\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/soul-of-the-sema-whirling-workshops-tickets-638797419277 \nFarima Berenji is an internationally acclaimed dance artist\, ethnologist\, choreographer\, instructor\, and archaeologist specializing in ancient\, sacred\, classical\, and folk dances spanning the millenniums of Persian civilization\, the Silk Road\, and the Near East.\nhttp://farimadance.com/ \nThe Shul Band\, led by Adam Feder\, plays music rooted in Jewish folk music but drawing on the musical wellsprings of New York City and of the whole world. It is equally prayerful and raucous\, meditative and joyful. The band has performed at major venues such as Carnegie Hall.\nhttps://www.theshulband.com/ \nThis is the fourth iteration of the NOoSPHERE Art’s annual rooftop series. Each season’s theme references an aspect of systems thinking\, an approach to environmental sustainability spearheaded by leading thinker Fritjof Capra\, a longtime NOoSPHERE Arts collaborator. This view considers all the major problems of our time—including energy\, economics\, climate change\, and inequality—as interconnected and interdependent. In 2023\, the summer series explores the theme of Nature’s Cycles. A cycle is an interval of time during which a characteristic event occurs\, often repeated regularly or in a sequence of events. There are cycles in everything—seasons\, circadian rhythms\, cellular life\, planetary systems\, politics\, and economics—and cycles in one realm affect cycles in others. Thinking about cycles can help us to discern structure\, order\, and patterns in the world around us\, and to realize that everything in life will ebb and flow—an encouraging thought in times of darkness. \nNOoSPHERE Arts is a 501c3 organization and cultural center led by a team of international creatives whose backgrounds blend the arts and sciences. Its freewheeling\, multidisciplinary approach engages diverse audiences and builds community through a range of vibrant public events in its indoor-outdoor home in Brooklyn\, NYC. The only multidisciplinary arts center in the Greenpoint neighborhood\, it is a welcoming platform where resident and migrant artists alike connect with locals. Uniting music\, dance\, visual arts\, theater\, film\, poetry & prose\, its collaborative productions at the nexus of art and eco-awareness harness the power of art to drive action towards green living\, fair play\, and oneness.\nhttps://www.noosphere-arts.nyc/
