Why:
The Duke New Music Ensemble [dnme] continues its 2009-10 season in a concert entitled "The Eternal Interlock." The concert is centered around Louis Andriessen's monumental "Hoketus" for two groups of six instruments, which explores many of the possibilities of the medieval technique, "hocket." They will also be premiering [dnme] member David Kirkland Garner's "Eilean," a suite for violin and piano inspired by Cape Breton fiddle music. Rounding out the concert is Morton Feldman's "Viola in My Life I," Katherine Hoover's "Antics" for 2 flutes, and Andrew Seager Cole's "Five" for quartet. And since [dnme] is dedicated to performing in unusual venues, this concert will be held in Bone Hall in the Biddle Music building.
[dnme] is a part of the Department of Music, and brings together undergraduate and graduate student performers in presenting music written in the 20th and 21st centuries. In addition, [dnme] also collaborates regularly with faculty and guest artists from the Duke University Department of Music and other institutions across North Carolina.

About Ravenna — Ravenna Michalsen is one of the few full time American Buddhist musicians with ambitions to start an “American Buddhist music movement.” Ravenna trained as a classical cellist for 14 years, and turned to voice and song writing in college. It wasn’t until a retreat with Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche in 2002 that the combination of dharma and music occurred. As of 2009, Ravenna has successfully released two albums, Bloom and Dharmasong, both essentially devotional albums: sadness, joy and anger are combined with utter openness and acceptance. Many feature prominent figures from Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, including Yeshe Tsogyal, Machig Labdrön, and Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.
What is Dharma Music? –- Dharma is a Sanskrit word meaning "the teachings of the Buddha", "the way things are" or simply: "that which holds us back". The Tibetan word for dharma is "chö", which can be translated as: "to heal", "to restore" or "to repair". Dharma music then is music that turns the mind toward the teachings of the Buddha or that which holds us back from harmful action.
