Our event invites you to learn about and explore how different cultures express gratitude through interactive vignettes and meaningful conversation. \n“Gratitude” seems simple enough\, but when you layer in different cultural interpretations\, it becomes far more nuanced than one might expect. A politeness learned from an early age in one cultural setting may be seen as rudeness in another. In three short vignettes\, audience members will experience scenes from different cultures illustrating various ways gratitude may be expressed. At one point the scene will freeze and a narrator will invite the audience into the scene\, first by asking what they saw then by engaging the various actors (who will remain in character) in dialogue. The audience will have an opportunity to experience how different communities view gratitude and its expression while building their own cultural competencies. \nQuestions?: Contact 317-531-6299 or gkelley@bez613.org. \nEvent Organizers: A partnership between Congregation Beth-El Zedeck\, IU Indianapolis Department of World Languages and Cultures\, and Alley Theatre Company. \nRegistration: Walk-in guests are welcome\, but registration is encouraged.

Music by Biber\, Clark\, Haydn\, and Beethoven DESCRIPTION:Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra (ICO) musicians Alfred and Colette Abel will be joined by their children Benjamin and Clara for an afternoon of masterworks expressing gratitude through music. Join us in giving thanks for this sacred space\, transcendent music\, and life’s gifts. \nHeiliger Dankgesang: Notes of Thanks is an exploration of gratitude through music by the Abel Family Quartet. \nThe cornerstone of the program is Beethoven’s String Quartet op. 132\, of which the transcendent middle movement\, “Holy Hymn of Thanksgiving” stands as the heart of the work. Written in the final years of his life\, Beethoven grapples with his own mortality\, ultimately finding joy and gratitude for the gifts of life and the return to health after a life-threatening illness. Complimenting this\, the program will also include works by Biber\, Haydn’s “Emperor” variations\, and Richard Auldon Clark’s “Mabon.” \nQuestions? Contact 317-635-2538 or admin@allsaintsindy.org. \nEvent Organizers: A partnership between musician Colette Abel\, Episcopal Church of All Saints\, and Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra. \nRegistration: Registration is encouraged.
