From New York’s Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House, from Womadelaide to Woodford Folk Festival, and many places in between Tibetan singer-songwriter Tenzin Choegyal has thrilled audiences around the world with his soaring vocals and mastery of traditional instruments. He has performed before the Dalai Lama and shared the stage with many well-known artists and composers. But he especially enjoys the chance to perform at more intimate concerts where he can share playful stories and well-loved traditional tunes with his audiences.
Tenzin was born in Tibet, a child of Tibetan nomads who followed their herds and traded salt, spending summers in the mountains and wintering on the plains. However, he spent his early years in Mustang, in the north-east of Nepal after his family fled the Chinese occupation in the early 1970’s. But memories of the music of his homeland have stayed with him.
An outstanding vocalist, Tenzin is a master of traditional Tibetan instruments such as the dranyen (long-necked lute) and lingbu (transverse bamboo flute). He recalls, when growing up, hearing his father playing the flute and his mother singing the nomadic songs of Tibet. Alongside traditional Tibetan Buddhist devotional chants, these songs still play a central part in his musical repertoire today.
Tenzin sets aside several weeks each year for his very special “For Tibet with Love Home Concert Tour”, performing concerts in people’s homes or other intimate venues to raise money for the Tibetan Children’s Village school in Dharamsala, India. TCV was established in the early 1960’s and to this day continues to support the orphaned and destitute children of Tibetan refugees.
We are delighted to be hosting one of Tenzin’s “home” concerts in Neerim South on November 29th. This promises to be a joyful evening of music and sharing as well as a unique opportunity to support Tenzin in his cause.
South Gippsland Relay For Life is in its 10th year and this year Fish Creek will be the host.
Come and join us over the weekend 21 and 22 March, 2015 from 4pm Saturday to 10am Sunday
2 hours of hilarity and practical tips for parents, grandparents or anyone else who works with children.
Steve’s live talks have had a remarkable public response. Hilarious, fun, practical, and moving are some of the words used by over 130,000 people over almost 30 years.
Steve Biddulph is one of the world’s best known parent educators. A psychologist for 25 years, he is now retired but continues to write and teach. His books, including The Secret of Happy Children, Raising Boys, The New Manhood and now RAISING GIRLS are in four million homes and 31 languages. They have influenced the way we look at childhood and especially the development of boys and men. Today though, the exploitation and misuse of girls and young women globally are a major focus.
This event is proudly brought to you as part of a tour organised by the Gippsland Presbytery of the Uniting Church in Australia.
