Hidden Sky: Jami Sieber in Concert with Colleen Kelley at Shumei International |
||
|
Electric cellist and vocalist, Jami Sieber, will be at Shumei in Crestone with artist and author Colleen Kelley Friday September 17th at 7pm. A pioneer of the electric cello, Jamie creates an orchestra of sound employing electronics and looping techniques. Her music goes from the deepest stillness to ecstatic pulsing rhythms and melodies.
In 2001, Jami had the opportunity to play her electric cello with elephants in Lampang, Thailand at the Thai Elephant Conservation Center. There at the Conservation Center, a group of elephants play instruments that were built specifically for them. It was there that Jamie entered into a remarkable dialogue through music with these animals. She says, “I have experienced the power of music as an international language, but through this exceptional encounter, it became an interspecies language.”“Elephant Orchestra” is intended to bring attention to the animal’s intelligence and their plight. In performance artist and author Colleen Kelley, who also traveled to Thailand to visit the elephants, will join Jami. Their intention is to continue to communicate to as wide an audience as possible about the extraordinary nature of the Elephants of Asia.
Crestone will now have the opportunity to experience the beauty of Jami’s music, Colleen’s poetry and their remarkable experiences with the elephants at a multimedia concert on Friday September 17 at 7 pm at the Shumei International Institute in Crestone. Tickets are $10 at the door, first come first seated and all proceeds benefit the artist. For more information please contact www.shumeicrestone.org or call 719-256-5284.
