The Social Sciences auditorium, home of the droning lecture, will come alive Sunday, when the Society for the Promotion of Indian Classical Music and Culture Among Youth (SPICMACAY) presents Odissi dancer Niharika Mohanty.
Dancer and choreographer Mohanty has received awards for her work in the promotion of Indian dance. She has studied extensively under several masters, and has performed all over the world both as a solo artist and as a troupe member. She recently performed at the Konark Dance and Musical Festival in India.
Through performances like this one, SPICMACAY seeks to spread the experience of Indian classical music and culture to the university community. The Tucson chapter, which is part of a greater national organization, has been successful in bringing several prominent Indian artists for UA concerts. Mohanty's appearance will be part of a series which
has included singers and sitar artists. It is in concerts like these, which combine
traditional performance with education and audience interaction, that SPICMACAY attempts to present a view of music which is outside the typical western experience.
Like all SPICMACAY concerts, Sunday's performance is completely free and open to everyone. The concert will begin at 5 p.m. and run two hours, with a 20 minute intermission.
