The Solstice Institute is proud to present:

SINGING IN BAGHDAD AND BEYOND
Cameron Powers and Kristina Sophia present "Singing in Baghdad and Beyond", a benefit musical event with the aim of building a bridge between America and the Arab world. Cameron and Kristina's two-hour presentation highlights their travels playing music in Arabic countries. "Singing together in each others’ languages builds the connections for which we are all starving", Cameron remarks. The presentation includes live music (Powers sings and plays the “Oud,” the lute of the Arab world, and Kristina sings). Slides will accompany music and stories about the Arab world. *NOTE* This performance will differ slightly from those of the past, in response to shifting political and social currents evident today.

Date and time: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 7:00-9:00 pm at The Solstice Institute, 302 Pearl St., Boulder.

Tickets will be $10 at the door. Cash or checks only.

FIRE MOUNTAIN PRESENTS: THE WAY OF THE SWORD

Class is held Mondays from 4:30-6:00 pm at the Solstice Institute. Cost is $44/month (or $11/class). Equipment is provided.
