Requiem Flamenco: In Praise of the Earth
An explosive musical tribute to our stricken planet by world-renowned flamenco guitarist and composer Paco Peña. This powerful pairing of flamenco’s passion and fire with the vocal glory of Vancouver’s Chamber Choir addresses the collective responsibility of having damaged the fabric of life to the point where our actions may well prove cataclysmic. While the language of Peña’s requiem expresses his concerns for humankind, it also illuminates hope in the future, inspiring an urgency to act now to save our planet. April 6, 8 pm, Orpheum Theatre. Tickets: $35-$75 at ticketmaster.ca or 604-280-3311.

GET CONNECTED:
Civic Engagement in a Changing World Robert Putnam, author of Bowling Alone, discusses how the deterioration of social frameworks leads to a growing distance from neighbours, friends, and even family members. This 2006 Skytte Prize winner (one of the world’s highest accolades for a political scientist) will highlight the importance of civic engagement and building trust in communities. The event, hosted by the Dalai Lama Centre for Peace and Education, will be followed by a question and answer session. April 14, 8 pm, UBC’s Chan Centre, 6265 Crescent Road. Tickets $17-$22 at ticketmaster.ca.
