BP ADAMS PRESENTS HISTORIC BATTLE-SCARRED BROOKLYN FLAG TO LOCAL VETERANS MARCHING IN AMERICA’S PARADE

admin — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 15:25:23 +0000

Today, Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams presented a group of local veterans, including representatives of the United War Veterans Council, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Vietnam Veterans of America, Marine Corps League, and student veterans from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, with a battle-scarred Brooklyn flag carried into the Persian Gulf War, as part of a ceremony honoring the veteran community. The group will march with this flag down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan during America’s Parade, produced by the United War Veterans Council, on Veterans Day, taking place on Tuesday, November 11^th.

“The spirit of One Brooklyn, along with the support and solidarity of its residents, was carried into battle through the flag that now stands proudly in Brooklyn Borough Hall as a tribute to the bravery of those men and women who brought it safely home,” said Borough President Adams. “Now, it will once more be carried into service, this time by veterans who have bravely served our nation and are justly honored for their service and their sacrifice. I am honored to take part in this small gesture of our borough’s everlasting appreciation for our veteran community, and I am committed to using my role as Borough President to advance their general welfare with the support and resources they deserve.”

The flag was given by then-Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden in 1990 to the 102 Maintenance Company, 244th Nation Guard Division when the unit was assigned to the Persian Gulf in Operation Desert Storm. It was scorched by burning fragments from an enemy Scud missile, which was shot down by a U.S. Patriot missile during an attack near Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The flag was returned to Brooklyn at homecoming ceremonies for the 102nd Maintenance Company on September 15th, 1991.

“I was born and raised in Brooklyn, and went onto serve in the US Army in Vietnam War,” said Patrick Gualtieri, executive director of the United War Veterans Council. “I am honored to be here today with Borough President Adams, and those proud veterans joining us who represent the more than 52,000 Brooklyn veterans from all eras living in our great borough. As the executive director of the United War Veterans Council, producers of the now-televised America’s Parade – Veterans Day, NYC on November 11^th – I assure you that this flag will be respected and featured during the parade.”

“As a proud Marine, OIF veteran, and as someone who grew up in Brooklyn, I am truly honored to participate in the flag ceremony with Borough President Adams and the distinguished veterans groups listed,” said Sergeant Shamar Thomas, U.S. Marine Corps veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). “Like this flag, our nations’ veterans and their families wear the scars of war, prompting us to never forget. As we walk down 5th avenue for the Veterans Day Parade, we must never forget those who have come before us, who have made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that freedom persists. Semper Fi.”

Japan Society presents The North American Debut of SHOMYO NO KAI

admin — Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:14:09 +0000

Voices of a Thousand Years

Transcendent Buddhist Chant

North American Premiere of “Life in an Autumn”

by Composer Ushio Torikai

Thursday March 6, 2014

7:30pm at St. Bartholomew’s Church

Japan Society, in conjunction with the Mid-Manhattan Performing Arts Foundation, is proud to present the North American debut of Shomyo no Kai – Voices of a Thousand Years on March 6 at St. Bartholomew’s Church in midtown Manhattan.

The ritual choral chanting of Japanese Buddhist scripture known as shomyo boasts a history of over 1300 years, placing it alongside Gregorian chant as among the world’s oldest continually performed musical forms. Shomyo (literally meaning “voice clarity”) is believed to have originated in India before traveling along the Silk Road and entering Japan in the sixth century, where it has been practiced ever since. Seldom heard outside of Buddhist temples, live performances of shomyo in the Western world by traditional practitioners are noteworthy.

Shomyo no Kai – Voices of a Thousand Years comprises priests from two of Japan’s major Buddhist sects, the Shingon and Tendai sects. With a mission to preserve and develop the art of shomyo, the group has been actively performing this song form for over twenty years to audiences in concert halls across the world. The group, originally called Shomyo Yonin no Kai, was founded in 1997 by modern shomyo pioneers Rev. Yusho Kojima and Rev. Kojun Arai (Shingon sect) and Rev. Koshin Ebihara and Rev. Jiko Kyoto (Tendai sect). On March 6, Shomyo no Kai – Voices of a Thousand Years will perform the North American premiere of the contemporary shomyo work Life in an Autumn, written by New York and Tokyo-based composer Ushio Torikai. Clad in brightly colored monastic robes, the choir alternates between monotone stillness and ecstatic polyphony. The ethereal voices of Shomyo no Kai swell in powerful harmony, enrapturing the listener into a transcendent meditative state. Set in the exceptional acoustics and grand sacred space of St. Bartholomew’s Church, this concert offers a rare opportunity to hear these ancient ritual songs come to vibrant life.

Borrowing some of its text from a Japanese translation of American poet Nancy Wood’s interpretation of Native American healing prayers, Torikai’s Life in an Autumn is a modern meditation on mortality, inspired by the tragic events of September 11th, 2001. The piece premiered in 2002 in Japan and was restaged in Tokyo in 2012 as a requiem for the victims of Japan’s March 11 earthquake and tsunami. “Since September 11, 2001, I have been preoccupied with thoughts about the nature of human life, of ethnicity and of human civilization,” says Torikai. “Music and religion in particular are very closely related. Music constitutes the ethnic identity of people all over the world, an expression of the beauty of wonderfully varied lives. Religious music is the most positive eulogy of life.” With Life in an Autumn, now to be performed around the third anniversary of the 3/11 Japanese disaster, Torikai and Shomyo no Kai present a palliative prayer that is at once contemporary and immemorial, superseding the dividing lines of Christianity and Buddhism, American or Japanese, natural or manmade disaster.

On the day of the performance, composer Ushio Torikai will lead a pre-performance lecture on the history and musical form of shomyo at St. Bart’s Chapel one hour before the performance. This lecture is free and open to Shomyo no Kai ticket holders but is limited to only the first 120 attendees; first come, first served.

Japan Society is partnering with The Mid-Manhattan Performing Arts Foundation to present this concert at MMPAF’s home for live performance, St. Bart’s. “We are excited to showcase this sacred music in a sacred space,” says Japan Society Artistic Director Yoko Shioya. “St. Bartholomew Church offers unparalleled resonance and beautifully engaging architecture. It also offers the opportunity for a broader, larger audience to connect with the venerable shomyo tradition. The juxtaposition of Christianity and Buddhism is further leavened by the non-secular nature of the work being performed, resulting in a performance that is truly universal.”

Japan Society’s produced and organized tour of Shomyo no Kai – Voices of a Thousand Years includes stops at Haverford College in Haverford, PA (March 2) and The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC (March 8).

Tickets for the New York event are $30 ($24 for Japan Society and St. Bartholomew’s Church / Friends of Great Music members) . All seats are general admission. Tickets are available now on the Japan Society website, in person at the Japan Society Box Office, by phone via Japan Society’s Box Office at 212-715-1258. Tickets are available at St. Bartholomew’s Church on the day of the performance from 5:00pm until showtime, subject to availability.

RELATED EVENT

Japan Society invites two experts in the field of Buddhist teaching and shomyo for a special discussion and staged demonstration at Japan Society on Tuesday March 4th at 6:30pm. Columbia UniversityProfessor Robert A.F. Thurman, a leading American expert on Tibetan Buddhism and the first Westerner to be ordained a Tibetan Buddhist monk by H.H. the Dalai Lama, has been instrumental in popularizing the Buddha’s teachings in the West. In this lecture, Prof. Thurman explores connections between Japanese and Indo-Tibetan Buddhism and joins in a discussion with Kojun Arai, priest of Japan’s Shingon Buddhist sect and leading member of Shomyo no Kai – Voices of a Thousand Years, which culminates with an on-stage demonstration of what is considered one of the oldest forms of vocal music. Tickets to this lecture are available through the Japan Society website:

ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES

Shomyo no Kai – Voices of a Thousand Years actively presents traditional shomyo performances to audiences at such prestigious venues as the National Theatre of Japan. Shomyo no Kai is one of the field’s predominant performers of contemporary shomyo works, regularly premiering pieces written for the group by leading Japanese composers such as Yuji Takahashi’s Ooinaru Shi no Monogatari, Atsuhiko Gondai’sSacred Fire/Sacred Light, Rikuya Terashima’s Muichimotsu no Sho – Ryokan ni Yosete, Mamoru Fujieda’s Wind Chant and Night Chant, and Kazuo Kikkawa’s Rongi Grand Vegetarian Festival. These contemporary works have been introduced under The Spiral Shomyo Concert Series at Tokyo’s foremost contemporary arts center, Spiral Hall, since 1998, directed by Director of the National Theatre of Japan Hiromi Tamuro and produced by Junko Hanamitsu of Kaibun-sha. Last year, this series celebrated its 20th concert. Shomyo no Kai – Voices of a Thousand Years has released CDs (produced by Japan Traditional Cultures Foundation) featuring A UN and Life in an Autumn, both compositions by Ushio Torikai.

Ushio Torikai (composer) is known for her highly individual musical voice, developed over many years of research and compositional experience in diverse musical fields including European classical music, traditional Japanese music, ancient Japanese music and computer/electronics. Torikai began a concert series of her own music in 1979 in Tokyo, and was invited to the Paris Biennale in 1982. Her music has been presented in major cities in Europe, North America and Japan, including at Georges Pompidou Center (Paris), the Museum of Modern Art (San Francisco) and Walker Art Center (Minneapolis). Her compositions vary considerably in instrumentation, ranging from Western orchestral instruments to traditional Japanese ones; computer/electronics to reconstructed ancient Asian instruments; and Western Choir to Japanese Buddhist monks’ chants. Torikai has received commissions from Ensemble Modern (Frankfurt), the Modern Art Sextet Berlin, the City of Los Angeles, the Kronos Quartet, the Ensemble Continuum (New York), the Canadian Electronic Ensemble, the Japan Broadcasting Corporation and The National Theatre of Japan, to name a few. Commissioned pieces range from works for concert music and opera to a permanent music installation in a public park. Her career is also characterized by a diversity of multidisciplinary collaborative activity. She has a long history of involvement as composer, in theater, in dance and in multi-media projects. The New York Times wrote “Torikai has a wide ranging musical imagination….[Her] music was spectacular, exuberant, radical and dense.” She occasionally writes about Japanese social phenomena for Japanese newspapers and magazines. Currently Ms. Torikai is working on a composition Remember for Solo Baritone and Full Orchestra, dedicated to the fallen soldiers. She divides her time between New York and Japan.

ABOUT JAPAN SOCIETY + THE PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAM

Founded in 1907, Japan Society is a world-class, multidisciplinary hub for both English and Japanese-speaking artists and audiences. At the Society, more than 100 events each year feature sophisticated, topically relevant presentations of Japanese art and culture and open, critical dialogue on issues of vital importance to the U.S., Japan and East Asia. An American nonprofit, nonpolitical organization, the Society cultivates a constructive, resonant and dynamic relationship between the people of the U.S. and Japan.

Since its inception, Japan Society’s Performing Arts Program has presented well over 600 events of the finest Japanese theater, dance, and music from the most stunningly preserved traditional to the genre busting cutting-edge. Today the program continues to push boundaries, educate and make creative visions come to life by presenting and touring works by leading international artists, promoting cross-cultural exchanges, commissioning new works and coordinating artist residencies and public programs. Beginning with its first ambitious presentation in 1953 at Columbia University, the Society has shared the unique arts and culture of Japan with U.S. audiences. In 1957, the Program began actively presenting Japanese musicians of both Eastern and Western traditions through concerts at schools and leading New York City venues. In the years to follow, programs such as gagaku Imperial Court music (1959) and the NY premiere of bunraku (1966) were among Americans’ first tastes of the traditional performing arts of Japan.
In 1971, the completion of the Society’s building (landmarked in 2011) at the current location gave the program a permanent stage of its own and opened its doors for year-round presentations. The space was inaugurated with a concert by the Tokyo String Quartet. Subsequent breakthrough presentations include Awaji Puppet Theater (1971); Eiko & Koma U.S. debut (1976); a two-week-long run of Grand Kabuki (1982) at the Metropolitan Opera House; Tadashi Suzuki’s The Trojan Women/The Bacchae (1982); and Sankai Juku (1990) at New York City Center. In 1992, a major donation from the Lila Acheson Wallace/Japan Society Fund enhanced the Society’s auditorium, enabling the Program to vastly expand its offerings. Highlights in the years following include Yamabushi Kagura (1994); Toru Takemitsu’s memorial concert (1996); Seinendan Theater Company U.S. debut (2000); and Mansaku-no-Kai Kyogen Company (2003), to name a few. In 2006, an exclusive Performing Arts Program endowment was established through a matching grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, allowing the Program to increase the frequency and scale of its commissions to non-Japanese artists for the creation of new works inspired by the culture of Japan. In addition, the Program has collaborated with world-class cultural organizations such as Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The Public Theater, BAM and the Guggenheim Museum; and the Program’s leadership role in Society-produced North-American tours of Japanese performing artists has earned it recognition among presenters around the world.

Good News Planet presents a new film by Intern/Employee Joseph Lodispoto about what we do here at Good News Planet and why we do it. Enjoy the film.

ABOUT GOOD NEWS PLANET (GNP)

Since July 4, 1998, GNP is offering a new media concept for news and entertainment about people making a positive, constructive impact on society, no matter what the obstacles are. UP-BEAT, NOT BEAT-UP, SOLUTIONS ORIENTATED MEDIA.

Good News Planet (GNP) was established by Milestone Broadcast Corporation, est. 1985 and is a rapidly growing media lifestyle publications covering and distributing news and entertainment from domestic and international sources related to health, science, business, international relations, and multi-cultural and niche community interests. GNP publishes and syndicates content on-line, on-air, and in print under the Good News Planet Brand. We are one of the first news, entertainment and events media to combine the article with the audio interview and continuously to develop innovations in news media, especially on the WEB. .

Approximately 80 percent of GNP articles and attached audio interviews are made available forever on demand, from the internet, at all times. GNP’s current story archive contains over 5,000 audio, video and text stories and events, indexed by most major search engines. Most stories are indexed by major search engines within four weeks.

Serving a niche but extraordinarily influential community with excellent brand equity that ranges from international lawmakers and industry shakers, GNP is a powerful community of people and organizations who have contributed stories to the site. Currently, 100,000 unique visitors from this audience generate 1 million hits each month. . The audience is made up of a highly-influential, professional persons concerned about making a positive impact on the World and future generations through media. They collaborate with Good News Planet, via their agencies and in person at Good News Planet events, to network with individuals who share their interest in leveraging the power of media to make a positive impact on society.

ABOUT THE GOOD NEWS PLANET BRAND. This is the international place of record to build good will for brands by ‘walking the talk’. GNP IS A HUMANITARIAN AGGREGATOR OF CONTENT. We encourage you to make your mark to investors, lawmakers, and citizens from around the World as a sponsor and supporter of the publication, and let the World know that you support people and organizations that care about doing good things for the benefit of all kinds of communities. We offer the following information to those seeking to place content on Good News Broadcast:

‘Good News’ Brand Essence: A place where people can participate in news media in positive ways.

‘Good News’ Brand Promise: We promise to provide voice, in audio, video and text media, and any emerging technology platform that helps to fairly present constructive, unbiased, newsworthy information to all audiences – without preference to any single political, religious, business or social agenda. ‘Good News’ Brand Tone and Manner: Positive, life-affirming, thought-provoking, and up-beat. Content Example One: We would cover news about an earthquake just like any other news organization. To make the story ‘Good News’, we cover multi-national relief efforts, provide unedited audio and video interviews for download, and offer information how our audience can participate in those efforts.

Another content example: We would cover the introduction of a new medicine for heart attack patients. Because Good News is defined as presenting the story without preference to any business agenda over another, we merely present the product as ‘a solution’, but not ‘the best solution’. We then give the audience resources to do their own research and supply the various media resources we can to help audiences make a decision about the story.

Programming for GNB comes from leading independent or network producers throughout the world who care about the power of and responsibility of using media to create a positive dialogue within audience communities.
