Joseph F. Wheeler Theater I Alchemy
Indian ragas were first envisioned by Hindus
as a manifestation of the divine —a musical
expression treated as god or goddess with its
own intricate personality. The art form has
two foundational elements, raga and tala.
The raga, based on swara (notes including
microtones), forms the fabric of a melodic
structure, while the tala measures time.
The raga gives an artist a palette to build the
melody from sounds, while the tala provides
them with a creative framework for rhythmic
improvisation.
Hindustani vocalist, composer, and world
musician, Srivani Jade, will join master tabla
artist and accompanist, Ravi Joseph Albright,
in discussion with Wes Cecil and Brangien
Davis illuminating the history of Indian
classical music. The evening will feature a
complete raga performed by an ensemble
of professional musicians

Port Townsend High School I Old Whiskey Mill
Hundreds of thousands of people around the world contrib-
ute bird observations to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology each
year, providing data on a scale once unimaginable. Scientists
use these data to reveal how birds are affected by habitat
loss, pollution, disease, climate, and other environmental
changes. NestWatch, the Lab's citizen -science project on
nesting birds, has been monitoring nesting birds' reproduc-
tive success since the 1960s. This long-term database is the
nation's richest source of information on avian reproductive
biology. Project Leader, Robyn Bailey, will join Ted Alvarez in
a discussion about current research, education, and commu-
nication initiatives for NestWatch. Learn about small things
we can all do to help birds every day.
