A Recital/Demonstration of Indian Classical Music and Kathak Dance

Amelia Maciszewski - sitar
Shila Mehta - Kathak dancer
Gourisankar Karmakar - tabla

This is an extraordinary opportunity to hear and see three experts performing music and dance of the Hindustani tradition.

Amie Maciszewski is a sitarist, ethnomusicologist, and Hindustani music educator. She trained initially in Santiniketan, India, under the late Prof. Suresh Misra, and has performed throughout North America, in India, Europe, and Japan, and has taught in North America since 1986. She has received awards and grants for her work as teaching artist, ensemble director, scholar, and documentary filmmaker.
A vibrant stage presence, utmost rhythmic command, and nuanced expressions best describe the performances of Kathak dancer Shila Mehta. Her choreography reflects a charming blend of philosophical, spiritual, and emotional essence, evident in her personality. She serves as Artistic Director of the Nupur Zankar Academy of Performing Arts in her home base, Mumbai.

Born into a nationally respected family of musicians, Gourisankar Karmakar, began studying tabla at the age of three under the able guidance of his father, respected tabla player Shib Shankar Karmakar. A graduate of Calcutta University, Gourisankar holds advanced degrees in Hindustani music, with a specialization in tabla, from several prestigious institutions. His extensive international tours over the past 20 years have taken him throughout Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the US, where he has enchanted audiences with both his solo playing and accompanying.

Texas State Orchestra Concert
The Texas State Symphony Orchestra has come of age. Founded in the 1950's by Professor Anton Bek, the orchestral program has developed to a level that rivals programs throughout the country. Professors Jack Laumer and John Stansberry contributed to the re-emergence of the orchestral program in the late 70's and early 80's. Professor Howard Hudiburg began building the current program in 1985.

With an emphasis on excellence in the performance of the standard orchestral repertoire, the orchestral studies and string education and performance programs at Texas State present a quality educational experience for the students in the School of Music. The TSSO has performed at the Texas Music Educators Association Convention and the American String Teachers Convention, and is the featured university orchestra for this year's TMEA convention. The Symphony Orchestra and String Orchestra have toured in Europe, performing in Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland. They have performed in Scotland and England touring with the Scottish folk band, The Wherries. The symphony has performed with Michael Martin Murphey, and has performed under the direction of Lucas Foss. In addition to performances across the state, the orchestra performs 6-8 concerts each school year, highlighting standard repertoire from the Baroque to the Twentieth Century.

Just in time for Halloween!

You never thought what they say could be
One night alone and you would see
I think you'll take back all those doubts
Now you know what the talk was all about

The turn of the screw, the turn of the screw
The thing you said you'd never do
The turn of the screw, the turn of the screw
There's no backing out once you've turned the screw

Texas State Opera Theatre Presents
Benjamin Britten's psychological thriller

Sung in English with an orchestra of Texas State faculty and fellow professionals.
