Dear
Friend of Lotus,
As we approach our 25th anniversary of bringing
multi-cultural music and dance to NYC and beyond, we take a moment to reflect on
how far we have come in the past 24 years. When we began in 1989, a few hundred
people attended our classes and workshops each year. Today we welcome over
10,000 people a year in our classes, workshops, arts in education programs and
outside bookings throughout the tri-state area. This year, Lotus visited 21
schools, bringing multicultural dance programs to nearly 6,000 students, many in
underserved communities in New York City.
While 2013 was a challenging
year for Lotus, it allowed us to get back to our roots and reconnect with family
and friends who have stood by us for so many years. It was also a year to
celebrate the many cultures that help shape who we are today. For those of you
who celebrated with us this past year, thank you for joining us. If you couldn’t
make it, here’s a sampling of what you missed.
- World
in the City: Hindustani Music--A Comparison of Benares and Maihar
Styles and Kathak--A Comparison of Lucknow and Jaipur Styles,
supported by New York State Council of the Arts (NYSCA)
- Tributaries:
The Music of Tabla hosted by Samir Chatterjee
- Ryukyuan
Music and Folk Dance with Junko Fisher
- Cambodian
Dance Master class with Chey Chankethya, as part of the Seasons of
Cambodia festival
- 11th
Annual Drums Along the Hudson Native American and Multicultural
celebration, sponsored in part by Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA)
- Dancing
Across Cultural Borders in Harlem: a series of multicultural programs
featuring the Roots of Flamenco, Burmese Dance and the Magic of Polynesia
We
have an exciting year ahead of us, as we will kick off our 25th anniversary with
a Dancing Across Cultural Borders: A World Dance Festival on January 26th at the
Faison Firehouse Theatre Harlem, NYC. Other events planned include a Young
Talent Showcase for Classical Indian Music in February, a World in the City
program: Odissi – A Comparison of Two Styles in March, and the 12th Annual Drums
Along the Hudson.
These and other programs cannot continue without the
help of our Lotus friends and family. Earlier this year, we launched a
successful “25 for 25 Campaign”, where many of our loyal friends and supporters
donated $25 or more to help Lotus make it to our 25th year. In case you missed
this opportunity, the end of the year is a chance to help us celebrate
our 25th anniversary by making a tax-deductible contribution. Please
help us continue to keep multicultural traditional performing arts alive and
accessible to all by making a tax deductible gift today. Your help is crucial at
this time.
