Nhucche Narayan - tabla Tenzin Choegyal’s international award-winning music has been described as “beautifully evocative,” “healing,” “mesmerizing,” “spine-tingling,” and “transcendent.” In this concert “For Tibet with love”, he draws on his traditional Tibetan roots to create original compositions which uniquely express his cultural lineage. *includes complimentary tour of the exhibition Gateway to Himalayan Art |

| Tenzin Choegyal was born to a nomadic family in southwest Tibet, and was raised in the Tibetan refugee community in Dharamsala, India. It was in the Tibetan refugee community in Dharamsala, India, in an atmosphere that actively fostered the preservation of Tibetan culture through language, religion and arts, that Tenzin first began to explore his musical talents. Over the last two decades, collaboration with numerous Australian and international performers has allowed Tenzin room to experiment with rhythm and structure and to challenge traditional Tibetan musical norms. His award-winning songs have found a place in the complex tapestry of global music. Tenzin was last heard in New York at Carnegie Hall in 2011 performing alongside Philip Glass, Angelique Kidjo, Taj Mahal, James McCartney, Patti Smith, Michael Stipe, Jesse Smith, and Michael Campbell. Nhuchhe Narayan learned to play various Nepali musical instruments from his father while they played together during Hindu prayer ceremonies, almost every night. Perfecting his art mostly in Newari (ethnic Nepalese, living mostly in Kathmandu) percussion, he has played for many popular singers in Nepal. Every Friday night from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. the Rubin Museum offers special programming —gallery talks, book launches, live music, performances, classic film screenings —and free admission to the galleries. In addition, Serai becomes the K2 Lounge and offers a special Pan Asian Tapas and cocktail menu to accompany the evening's DJ. There is no cover charge for the K2 Lounge and Happy Hour runs from 6:00–7:00 p.m. with a 2-for-1 special on all beer, wine, and well drinks.* * Specialty cocktails and martinis are not included. Cannot be combined with other offers. |
