April 10: Buddhism as Performing Art (Tibet)

Time: April 10, 2015, 15-18 h
Place: PCHoofthuis room 440 (4th floor), Spuistraat 134, Amsterdam
We shall read an article from the new Yale online journal Music and Religion, “Buddhism as Performing Art: Visualizing Music in the Tibetan Sacred Ritual Music Liturgies”
Bernard Kleikamp will introduce the article and subject. Bernard is director of Pan Records, a label that focusses on music from all over our planet. Many of the titles in his vast catalogue are real gems, not the kind of common stuff you find everywhere. From this vantage point Bernard has been a connoisseur of world music since ages, but on top of that he recently decided to get a degree in Tibetan language and culture at Leiden university.
