SUMMARY:Walk Like a Preservationist
DESCRIPTION:How can you look at an historic building and know that it should be preserved or landmarked? Join Adam Rubin\, CAC Director of Interpretation\, and member of the Commission on Chicago Landmarks\, and learn what to look for to determine if a building qualifies for preservation designation. \nChicago’s historic resources lend our city its unique sense of place. But what does it take to legally ensure a building’s protection? How are historic construction materials cared for differently than newer materials? And what will we need to do differently to protect a newer and expanded class of culturally significant sites as they become “historic”? \nThis program is $15 to attend and $7 for CAC Members. \nThis outdoor program will focus on sites near the CAC and the Chicago River and will involve walking less than a mile. The program will begin and end at the CAC. \nPROGRAM SPEAKER: ADAM RUBIN\n \nAdam Rubin is an architectural historian and has worked as a researcher\, writer and preservation educator in cities across the country. He currently serves as Director of Interpretation at the Chicago Architecture Center. Prior to assuming this position\, Adam contributed work to an historic resources study of properties along Chicago’s North Lake Shore Drive\, with an emphasis on the documentation of Modernist residential high-rises along the lakefront. Previously\, Adam has developed and led public education initiatives and outreach programs focused on historic resources and landscapes at Docomomo US\, Landmark West\, the Brooklyn Historical Society and the Los Angeles Conservancy.

SUMMARY:In Concert: Pt. Tejendra Mujumdar and Pt. Tanmoy Bose
DESCRIPTION:A Special Recital of Hindustani Classical Music at SAI\nSouth Asia Institute & South Asian Classical Music Society Present Pt. Tejendra Mujumdar and Pt. Tanmoy Bose in concert. \nPandit Tejendra Narayan Majumdar’ is one of the most brilliant and popular classical artists from India. A dedicated musician who is also interested in composing\, arranging and experimenting in other areas of music. From composing the background score of meaningful films to musical ballets – Tejendra is always ready to take on any musical challenge. He has composed the music for the Bengali films like ‘Shongshoy’ and ‘Hononkal’ of Saibal Mitra\, Tollylights of Arjun Chakraborty\, and a lot of Telefilms. He has also composed and arranged music for different singers like Ghulam Ali\, Pt. Ajoy Chakraborty\, Haimanti Shukla\, and Arati Mukherjee. \nTejendra plays the fretless sarod and represents the Maihar gharana (school) having learned the instrument for many years from Bahadur Khan before his passing and later from his cousin Ali Akbar Khan. \nTanmoy Bose is a percussionist and tabla player\, musical producer\, film actor and composer. Born and raised in Kolkata\, the cultural capital of India\, Bose grew up in downtown Kolkata at a time when Indian Music was being paid serious attention in the West due to the efforts of the legendary maestros. His house used to throb with activity-business\, music\, medicine at all and was rightfully considered as a nodal point of practitioners and connoisseurs of all the above and could boast of being a landmark in the area. Bose is one of the foremost musicians in contemporary world music and an indispensable member in the global fraternity of percussion. Bose received his early tutelage from the legendary Kanai Dutta. Bose became the Gandabandh Shagird {formally initiated disciple in Indian classical music} of the noted torchbearer of the Farukhabad gharana Pandit Shankar Ghosh. \nFor Tanmoy\, music and life are inseparable. Rhythm is his quest of truth and beauty- it transcends all other priorities in his life.
