A MUSICAL EVENING OF LIGHT in aid of LAMP

/by

LAMP Foundation & Lorraine Music Academy presents a “A MUSICAL EVENING OF LIGHT”

(Admission Free. No Passes required. Seats available on first come first served basis. Please come early to be seated by 7:20pm.)

This festive season, on the eve of Diwali – the Festival of Lights – we present to the community in Gurgaon – the National Capital Region of Delhi, India – a unique “Music & Art” experience. The Musical Evening Of Light is a virtuosi performance integrating music along with lighting effects.

Light has its own presence. Beyond its practical functions, such as creating security, illuminating obstacles and marking passageways, light also enables the observer to perceive the city in a different manner. Through light one can rediscover the city’s lines, geography and strength. The preoccupation with light as raw material has developed rapidly over the past twenty years. This process has opened a new world that integrates beauty, concept, abstraction and technology and includes a wide spread of possibilities and usages. Through this Musical Evening of Light, we will together discover the unique quality of the integration of light as a creative element and not just a means to lighting works of art.

The evening will include:

  • Performances by:
  • Performances by a group of 40 Students of the Lorraine Music Academy

Light sources, video projections, body colours and music are an integral significant part of Bernardo Skolnic’s performance. He will introduce the physical and metaphysical significance of light in his performance “Illumination” which deals with the path of the supreme realization of man on earth, common to many ancient religions all around the planet.

Lorraine Fiona Aloysius will play the Piano and Sing in English, Hindi, Konkani & Hebrew (the ancient language of Israel). The evening will include music being played on a wide range of musical instruments including the Piano, Electronic Keyboard, Flute, Rhythm Guitar, Tambourine, Bass Guitar, Lead Guitar, Drums along with Vocal & Choral singing. A surprise musical element from the world of nature is in store for the audience.

This concert forms a part of the LAMP Music & Art Festival planned in aid of LAMP Trust – aimed at raising awareness and resources to set up the LAMP World Cultural Centre in Gurgaon, National Capital Region of Delhi, India to promote the Arts.

Our Chief Guest will be Mr. Yahel Vilan, Minister & Deputy Chief of Mission, Embassy of Israel in New Delhi

We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the support of the EMBASSY OF ISRAEL in New Delhi.

About Chanchal Banga

CHANCHAL BANGA was born and raised in the industrial city of Jamshedpur, (State of Jharkhand), India. At a young age he recognized that life imposes categories and boundaries upon people. In his early paintings, he experimented with ideas and techniques in search of new ways for free and creative expression.

Chanchal studied at Maharaja Sayajirao University (M.S.U.), Baroda and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and a Master of Fine Arts in printmaking. University studies helped Chanchal develop the aesthetic and conceptual aspects of his work. He owes this to the multi-cultural student body and his professors who encouraged self-expression, allowing an open and vibrant learning environment to flourish. He interacted critically with the work of modern Indian artists like Nilima and Gulam Shaikh, Jyoti Bhatt, and many European artists. Chanchal drew influences from these artists and honed his technical skills based upon their techniques.

In June of 2000 Chanchal travelled to Israel where he volunteered for nine months in a kibbutz while pursuing his artwork. He became involved with local art groups and participated in a number of cultural activities and projects. He worked on the famous Peace Project (sponsored by Kibbutz Baraam) with a number of artists to execute large paintings inspired by the history of the Israeli-Arab conflict and the ongoing search for peace.

In 2001, Chanchal received a scholarship from the Foreign Affairs Ministry of Israel to study a post-graduate printmaking program at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem.

Chanchal works in his studio at Tel Aviv, Israel. He also has a home and a studio in Jerusalem where he lives with his wife Sigal and daughters Aditi and Rani.
