Two Adirondack artists will host an afternoon of traditional Tibetan music and Indian classical dance in Saranac Lake on Sunday.
Born in exile and trained at the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts in India, Techung moved to the U.S. in 1987 to continue his musical career. He's given concerts and worked with students at SUNY Plattsburgh. Techung and his wife, Sisa Salgado, settled in Lake Placid. They own the Tibetan gift shop, "Vision of Tibet," and are working on a Tibetan music preservation project.
Their concert Sunday will be held at Inner Quest Yoga & Wellness Center in Saranac Lake at 4:00 pm. Space is limited. For reservations: 518-354-2425.
A trained classical dancer, Sisa Salgado has lead a cultural project called "The Dance Road" for the last few years.
Techung and Sisa spoke with Todd Moe about bringing together centuries-old culture and historical connections between Tibet and India through their music and dance. Techung will share stories and music to celebrate Losar, the Tibetan Lunar New Year.
