Показать описание

In fall 2008 and summer 2010, composer Andrea Clearfield explored the restricted Himalayan region of Lo Monthang in Upper Mustang, Nepal while studying the traditions of Tibetan music — all of which inspired this Clearfield commission Tse Lo Ga (At the threshold of this life). Come and experience the Far East with us in a program that represents a unique collaboration with the Pennsylvania Girlchoir, Philadelphia Tibetan community and Mendelssohn Club.

On location video images and stills were taken by Andrea Clearfield in Lo Monthang.
