dalai lama in calgary sept 30 - oct 1 with kd lang conference and private concert
Dalai Lama in Calgary
Graduating from UofC has its perks, special alumni events held at Hotel Arts, discounts on insurance and hotels, and being up-to-date on the latest events happening in the community. Here's something that caught my eye:
The University of Calgary is pleased to welcome His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama as their honoured guest at NOW – a two-day event and conference from September 30th to October 1st, 2009.
NOW is composed of three distinct events: At connect NOW, the public address at the Pengrowth Saddledome, His Holiness will speak to the future of our community - both our young population and our relatively young age as a city. Engage NOW is a two-day conference featuring an additional address by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, three remarkable keynote speeches, as well as other top level speakers at break out sessions, all examining the concept of community engagement. Listen NOW, the concert benefitting the NOW event, will showcase a private performance by K.D. Lang & guests.
Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime event.

DALAI AND FRIENDS In the immediate arts and culture realm, the Dalai Lama brought some very impressive names out of the woodwork and onto the stage along with him in Calgary yesterday. Bryan Adams and k.d. lang hit the Jubilee Auditorium last night for an awe-inspiring post-Dalai Lama private concert. Head to Six in the City online for some pics.

In the immediate arts and culture realm, the Dalai Lama brought some very impressive names out of the woodwork and onto the stage along with him in Calgary yesterday.
Bryan Adams and k.d. lang sold out the Jubilee Auditorium last night for an awe-inspiring post-Dalai Lama private concert.
With Canadian Olympic gold medalist Mark Tewksbury and TV star Sandra Oh introducing the two amazing Canadian musicians, it was a perfect way to wrap up a Dalai Lama-inspired day.
Thanks to the University of Calgary for making it all possible.

Tools for Peace benefit concert/event with k.d. lang sept. 26, 2009
there are many great reviews and photos from here. i hope to see video around.
Tools for Peace benefit concert/event with k.d. lang sept. 26, 2009
Gracing San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral, K.D. Lang Brings It To The BayA once-in-a-lifetime experience took place this weekend atop the Nob Hill neighborhood of San Francisco as superstar K.D. Lang delivered a performance benefiting Tools For Peace. Leaving jaws dropped, skin goosebumped, and cheeks tear-stained, the crooner helped celebrate an evening layered with peace, positive vibes, kindness, and a voice that could blow the Ghiberti doors right off the cathedral entrance.
Not that the landmark Grace Cathedral isn’t gorgeous on its own merit for countless reasons–merely walking up the steps of the French Gothic masterpiece earlier that day was enough to get my heart racing. But once inside, racing transitioned to pounding as the familiar, velvety sounds of Lang’s voice traveled down the aisles from the altar as the crooner conducted a sound check. A few minutes later I had the awesome fortune of meeting K.D., whose peaceful aura, humble demeanor and rosy cheeks emitted gobs of good energy and (natch), grace.
And how befitting that a church renowned for the welcoming of people of all faiths and diverse backgrounds played host to an event for an organization such as Tools For Peace (TFP), whose mission reads: “To provide people of all ages and backgrounds with practical methods for cultivating compassion, peace, and well-being.” A match made in heaven–or at least on Nob Hill!
Just to the right of the altar was a breathtaking artwork display of brilliant color in the form of sand mandalas, the creation of which is a Tibetan Buddhist tradition taking many hours–days, actually–to complete. The mandalas are later destroyed to show the impermanence of material things, and then deposited into a nearby body of water (in our case, the Bay).
The weeklong collaboration between Bay Area students and Tibetan monks (who had traveled from Nepal) took place after the launch of TFP’s “Tools For Schools” program, which allows schools the opportunity to use the TFP curriculum within its existing 8th-12th grade framework. Children from Northern Light School in Oakland worked side by side with the monks to craft the beautiful sand mandalas, the dissolution of which took place the next day after a service.
K.D. performed with only a pianist for the first several songs, then was joined by the cathedral’s organist for a couple more. If there’s a phrase that could blend “belted out from the depths” and “sung like an angel,” I’d insert it here. All of the songs, but most notably Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, had a crowd-wide emotional effect that attempting to describe with words would be an embarrassingly feeble attempt at the impossible. Suffice it to say that even though there were 400 people in the audience, it felt like there were only three in the whole building: you, K.D., and, well…you know.
A delish dinner was served afterward for 250 guests, just downstairs below the cathedral. A live auction ensued, raising an incredible amount of money (totals unknown, but I’m here to vouch that there was some mind-blowing generosity in the room). Woo-hoo for TFP!
The monks got to take at least a bit of a break from all that focused sand mandala building. We hear they strolled over the Golden Gate Bridge, and also indulged in a tour of the Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory and quite enjoyed the product. Well-deserved!!
