Kirtan with Kalidasa and Friends will be at the Unitarian Universalist Society East, 153 Vernon Street West, Manchester, at 3 pm Jan. 21, 2024. Suggested donation: $15. For details call 860-646-5151 or visit uuse.org. Kirtan is the ecstatic and meditative singing of the divine names from the Hindu tradition. It's a simple yet powerful way to connect with self, source, and community. Participants are invited to sit comfortably, to sing as though no one is listening, clap their hands, and dance, do yoga, or move if they wish. Kalidasa Joseph Getter leads kirtan with his voice, harmonium, bamboo flutes, and hand drums using traditional and contemporary medolies. He is a creative world musician, composer, and teacher, with decades of experience in kirtan, Javanese gamelan of Indonesia, Carnatic classical music of southern India, experimental music, drumming, jazz, and music for yoga, theater, dance, sound healing, and the circus arts.
