North Indian Drums Performance at Alcorn
Sandip Burman, a native of Durgapur, India, is an accomplished tabla (Indian drums) player. He will be in concert here at Alcorn State University on Wednesday, February 15, 2006, at 7:00 p.m. in the Campus Union Ballroom.
The concert is free and open to the public.
Sandip Burman, a native of Durgapur, India, is accomplished tabla player. His love and dedication for tabla began at the age of six when Pandit Shyamal Bose of Calcutta, one of India’s distinguished tabla maestros, accepted him as his disciple. Sandip’s performances are marked with spontaneous innovation and tonal purity even when he is delivering complex rhythmic patterns at dazzling speeds. His repertoire is vast…it includes both commonly and rarely played rhythms. To the discerning ear, Sandip’s skills in accompaniment, combined with the intensity of his solo styling, demonstrate that he is a musician par excellence. His talent and creativity are clearly evident making his performance enjoyable and leaving his audiences in awe of the artist and his art form.
You may already know that the nation is celebrating “GO RED FOR WOMEN”. Everyone (men too!) can support the fight against heart disease in women by wearing red on February 3, 2006— National Wear Red Day. It’s a simple, powerful way to raise awareness.
All Greek organizations are participating in the campaign in the Campus Union Ballroom beginning at 12 noon. Free screenings will be available, as well as valuable information.
The College for Excellence is bringing a guest to the campus next week to speak to the student body. His name is W. Ralph Eubanks, Director of Publishing for the Library of Congress. He will also visit two classes; Advanced Composition and Afro-American History. He is an African-American and a native of Covington Co., MS, the town of Mt. Olive.
For more information, contact Dr. Edward L. Vaughn, Dean College for Excellence.
