SUMMARY:Franz Liszt\, Claudio Arrau\, and Bennett Lerner: A Musical Family Tree
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nThis event features the screening of the 2021 documentary movie\, “Piano Lessons: The Life and Art of German Diez-Nieto”\, followed by an interview with Bennett Lerner and filmmaker and pianist\, Francesca Khalifa\, and a discussion with the audience.  In addition\, throughout the discussion\, there will be piano demonstrations by our presenters. \nThe film tells the story of Cuban pianist\, German Diez-Nieto\, who was a long-time pupil and assistant of the world-famous piano virtuoso\, Claudio Arrau\, and\, therefore\, a direct heir to the piano tradition of Liszt and Beethoven.  The discussion will focus on the process of transmission of a treasured and historically-important tradition of piano teaching and musical artistry. \nUp to now\, there has been no formal research into the topic of the modern inheritors of the piano tradition of Franz Liszt.  The film\, co-authored and co-produced by the Italian filmmaker\, Antongiulio Panizzi (Netflix\, RAI)\, and the Italian-Egyptian pianist and scholar\, Francesca Khalifa\, highlights how Diez-Nieto’s teaching shaped a generation of important musicians\, including Grammy-nominated pianist\, Erika Nickrenz\, Grammy-winning composer and pianist\, Joan Tower\, and the beloved American pianist and Payap Professor Emeritus\, Bennett Lerner\, through all of whom Liszt’s teachings were passed on to future generations. The documentary was selected for showings at prestigious festivals\, such as the 39th International Turin Film Festival and the Orchestra di Mantova Festival. It has received the official endorsement of the American Liszt Society. \nPresenters:\nFrancesca Khalifa:\nItalian-Egyptian pianist\, scholar\, and filmmaker and Bennett Lerner\, American pianist and Professor Emeritus of Payap University. Francesca Khalifa’s prime pianistic mentor was the Cuban pianist and pedagogue\, German Diez-Nieto\, a protégé of the world-famous piano virtuoso\, Claudio Arrau. \nMs. Khalifa has won first prizes in the Ferrara International Piano Festival\, the Schio International Piano Competition\, the Premio Loreto Lancia International Piano Competition\, and the Niccolò van Westerhout Competition. She has appeared as soloist with orchestras in Cairo\, Milan\, and New York City\, and in recital in China\, Cuba\, and New York City. Ms. Khalifa has presented master classes and lectures at the Pino Torinese Master Classes\, Virginia Tech University\, the University of Central Florida\, and the Edward Said Conservatory in Jerusalem.

SUMMARY:Yee Peng and Loy Krathong: A Cultural Workshop with Ajarn Waewdao
DESCRIPTION:Description\nLoy Krathong\, the festival celebrated by Thai people on the full moon night of the twelfth month of the Thai lunar calendar\, is probably the most well known and most charming of all Thai festivals. The term “Loy Krathong” literally means to float a krathong\, which is a small religious offering containing flowers\, candles\, incense\, and\, in times past\, some coins. Many Thais use the krathong to thank the Goddess of water and rivers. \nIn the north\, people celebrate Yee Peng or the Lantern Festival at the same time.  It is a religious event where various types of lanterns are hung in front of the house to show devotion to the Buddha\, and sky lanterns are sent to worship the deities in the high heaven. Lanna people also light small candles call “Phang Pratheep” to show gratitude to all their benefactors including the house and walls that protect them. \nIn this workshop\, led by Ajarn Waewdao\, an expert in Lanna culture\, you will learn about the origins and traditions associated with Yee Peng and Loy Krathong. You will then participate in a craft workshop\, making your own “Phang Pratheep” as well as a krathong made out of environmentally friendly materials.  Finally\, you will learn how to dance the traditional line dance called “ramwong” which is always a key part of these two festivals. \nPresenter:\nAjarn Waewdao Sirisook\, M.F.A. Dance\, World Arts and Cultures\, UCLA\, and recipient of the Naational Artist in Contemporary Performing Arts award for 2024 is a choreographer/dancer from Chiang Rai who first studied dance within her village community.

SUMMARY:Tai Herbalism in the 19th Century
DESCRIPTION:Description\nSusan Conway’s talk is based on her book\, Tai Herbalism\, that analyses an early 19th century Shan manuscript about herbalism and magic. \nAgainst all the odds\, the author succeeded in achieving a translation of the manuscript with the help of a handful of elderly villagers able to read the ancient Shan script\, and scholarly monks from Shan State Buddhist University\, Myanmar.  \nThe translated manuscript offers a fascinating insight into the treatment of physical and mental illness in that era. Patients were first assessed according to local astrological and cosmological beliefs\, then treated with a combination of traditional Shan herbal remedies reinforced with chants\, spells and rituals. \nDr Conway reveals the extensive use of plants\, herbs\, chemicals and animal extracts as medicines\, and supplies insights into the use of magic for both good and bad intentions. \nPresenters:\nSusan Conway is a research associate at the Institute of Development Studies\, Sussex University. She studied fine art as an undergraduate and her Ph.D is a study of the history and culture of northern Thailand. She is a writer who specialises in the arts and culture of south-east Asia\, and an artist whose work reflects Thailand’s landscapes and murals. \nCOST: 350 THB

SUMMARY:Ayurveda – The Science of Life
DESCRIPTION:Description\nAyurveda is based on the theory that everything in the universe is connected. If your mind\, body and spirit are in harmony with the universe you are in good health. When this balance is disrupted you become ill. A disruptor can be genetic in origin\, for example\, or it might be a birth defect\, or an injury. Climate and seasonal changes have their effects too\, as do your emotions and age. \nPractitioners of Ayurveda believe we are made of five basic elements: space\, air\, fire\, water and earth. These elements combine in the human body to form three life forces or energies called doshas which control how the body works. Everyone inherits a unique mix of these three doshas\, although one is usually stronger than the others. Each dosha controls a different set of bodily functions and it is believed that your propensity for ill health and the health problems that develop are linked to the balance of your doshas.  \nAn Ayurvedic therapist will identify your primary and secondary doshas and use this information\, together with your physical and emotional makeup\, to create a treatment plan designed specifically for you. \nWhile clinical research is sparse compared to studies of Western medicine\, Ayurveda has been shown to improve rheumatoid arthritis\, hypertension\, heart disease\, chronic pain\, anxiety\, poor circulation\, skin health\, sleep quality\, poor digestion and more. \nBy embracing a holistic approach to health and wellness through diet\, herbal treatments\, meditation\, yoga and massage\, Ayurveda is the world’s oldest healing science and well worth investigating. \nPresenters:\nSangeeta Sirinthipaporn started practising natural therapies in 1999 with acupressure reflexology. She saw the need to offer a more complete range of treatments in the search for wellness and a balanced lifestyle. Ayurveda was the key that gave her insights into the root cause of various disorders and the way to balance the bodily systems. \nAt her clinic Sangeeta guides each patient through a series of therapies\, and supplies a diet plan\, exercise program and lifestyle balancing measures to achieve health and harmony. She regularly presents workshops and lectures at Spas\, Wellness Centres and Universities nationwide. \nCOST: 350 THB\nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:The Overture
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis is the story of Sorn Silapabanleng\, a gifted Thai musician who started to play the ranad ek when he was six\, beginning a journey to establish himself as the best player in the country.   \nSet in Ratchburi Province and Bangkok\, the film cuts back and forth between the early incidents that helped him become the most famous musician of the traditional piphat ensemble style\, and the events of the 1940s after the abolition of the absolute monarchy.  \nThe Prime Minister\, Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsonghkhram\, was attempting to culturally reform and modernise the country. He changed the name of the country from Siam to Thailand and introduced legislation banning old-fashioned things\, like traditional Thai music and the playing of specific instruments. Sorn was a famous name\, and the modernising government was eager to use him in their reform campaign. But Sorn wasn’t interested and remained devoted to traditional Thai music. He said that as a tree needs roots\, so traditions are the roots of culture and should not be abandoned. \nIn a scene where Sorn’s son brings a piano to the house\, he and Sorn jam together. The music they make is neither traditional Thai nor modern Western\, but is something new\, different\, beautiful. It becomes a synthesis of the two disciplines\, creating something unique; showing a way of doing things that allows the past to be a part of the future.   \nGuy Scandlen\, an aficionado of Thai film will give a brief introduction to The Overture (104 minutes) which is in Thai with English sub-titles. Afterwards\, two Payap University music students will demonstrate the ranad ek and you can try it too.\nLastly there will be a discussion about the film. \nCOST: 350 THB\nDownload Flyer here:
