7:30 – 8:45 p.m. – A Garland of Music, Presented by Prabuddha Raha and friends (Wilson Auditorium)

This program is a celebration of the thoughts, poetry, music, and artistry of Rabindranath Tagore, and a commemoration of one hundred years of his Nobel Prize for Literature, for his ‘Gitanjali’ an Offering in Songs. In 1913, India’s renaissance poet, Rabindranath Tagore became the first non-European and first Asian to win the Nobel Prize in literature, with his Gitanjali, an offering in songs. Hailed as an internationalist and a humanist, Tagore bridges the East and West through his music, poetry, and writings and celebrates life in unison with God, Nature, Love, Peace, and Humanity.

Through a creative interpretation of Tagore’s poetry and music, Prabuddha Raha, a noted Rabindrasangeet artiste from Calcutta, India, will perform as part of this program. A music instructor and established television and film playback singer and music director, Raha has represented India at various international settings, including Bangladesh, Singapore, Malaysia, and the United States.

Art Now: Geotagging the Omissions
2013-10-17 18:00 - 21:00 | MAC At Monmouth
Thurs. Oct 17
The Mac Varsity Club 301 & 302 | 6 p.m.
Our workshop empowers participants
to create and upload photographic documentation of
overlooked communities to Google maps, building a public document of
the community from within. The half day workshop can be adapted for any age
and participants may use any level of digital camera. We begin with a
short presentation on work with locative media and conceptual
documentary projects. Participants then are given a shooting
assignment based on local areas absent or overlooked in Google
StreetView. We then aggregate the images using Google’s image
uploader, carefully geotagging them. Within a few
weeks, Google’s search engine picks these images up and they appear
on Google Maps.

Julian Sands (In Person) in A Celebration of Harold Pinter
2013-10-18 20:00 - 22:00 | Pollak Theatre
Julian Sands in A Celebration of Harold PinterDirected by John Malkovich
With personal anecdotes and reflections drawn from their work together, Julian Sands (24, A Room with a View, The Killing Fields, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Impromptu, Leaving Las Vegas) combines Harold Pinter’s poems and political prose to create a very fresh and intimate insight into the Nobel laureate’s literary legacy.
In 2005 Mr. Sands was approached by the Nobel Prize winning playwright and poet Harold Pinter to prepare a set of Pinter’s poems for a special presentation in London. Working closely with Pinter, he was granted a rare insight into his personality, life, and work. This extraordinary collaboration evolved into a wonderfully humorous and fascinating solo show directed by John Malkovich titled, A Celebration of Harold Pinter.
This is an evening of Homeric theater with an extraordinary actor, great words, and an audience. Devoid of pretension or glittery trappings, A Celebration of Harold Pinter gets to the soul of the man – poet, playwright, husband, political activist, Nobel winner, mortal. A Celebration of Harold Pinter was nominated for a 2013 Drama Desk Award.
