Tuesday, November 8 at 7:30 p.m. - Alash Ensemble

Alash Ensemble, masters of Tuvan throat singing, will present a concert at Camphill Village Kimberton Hills. Be there as this captivating musical ensemble brings the ancient art of throat signing to the Rose Hall stage.

Alash are masters of Tuvan throat singing, a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. Tuvan throat singers can produce two or three, sometimes even four pitches simultaneously. The effect has been compared to that of a bagpipe. 

Masters of traditional Tuvan instruments as well as the art of throat singing, Alash are deeply committed to traditional Tuvan music and culture. At the same time, they are fans of western music. Believing that traditional music must constantly evolve, the musicians subtly infuse their songs with western elements, creating their own unique style that is fresh and new, yet true to their Tuvan musical heritage.

Admission to the concert is $10.  All tickets will be sold at the door on a first-come, first-served basis.

Seating is limited.  The Camphill Cafe will be open at 6 p.m. for light supper and refreshments before the concert.

Friday, December 16 at 7:30 p.m. - Benefit Concert for Chasin' for Chalfin
Chasin’ for Chalfin was established to help Jake Chalfin, who was severely injured when he fell at the Blue Ridge Fall Races in Berryville, Va., on September 18, 2010. As a result of his extensive injuries, Jake is now paralyzed from the chest down and is facing significant long-term expenses associated with his special needs.

Chasin’ for Chalfin, a committe of his close friends and family, is committed to raising $1 million as soon as possible to help Jake with these extraordinary expenses as he tackles the biggest hurdle of his life. 

Camphill Kimberton is pleased to host this benefit concert for our friends, the Chalfin family.  Jake's sister, Julia Chalfin, will perform her American Diva show in Rose Hall.  The show tells how a country bumpkin became a successful international Opera Diva. It is a humorous trip of musical self-discovery through Musicals, Pop, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Jazz and Classical music, in search of the appropriate genre and world fame. The program includes songs from these musical styles and finishes with a series of opera arias. The performance also features Tim Peck, master of the keys. Parallel to Julia´s story, Tim shares how he developed his skills as both a talented classical pianist and free swinging jazz musician.

A reception will immediately follow the concert at the adjacent Camphill Cafe.
