Cambodian Living Arts presents Heartstrings សម្លេងដួងចិត្ត by artists from the Khmer Magic Music Bus Next Stage Arts Project presents Heartstrings សម្លេងដួងចិត្ត, a work commissioned by Cambodian Living Arts, on Friday, October 26 at 7:30 pm at Next Stage. Tickets are $20, general admission, available at nextstagearts.org and at Turn It Up in Brattleboro and the Putney Coop three weeks before the show. Next Stage is located at 15 Kimball Hill in Putney, Vermont. Heartstrings សម្លេងដួងចិត្ត Heartstrings explores the personal journeys of five musicians from Cambodia. Through a mix of storytelling and music, the artists share some intimate insights into their experiences over the past 20 years. What does it mean to conceal your passion and your livelihood, or to be forced to play propaganda music to survive? What does it mean to rewrite memories you thought you had? And what does it mean to be a daughter of one of the few surviving Master Artists? Witness the music that defined them, hear their stories, learn about the people who shaped them, and celebrate the power of the arts in building peace. Featuring renowned flute player, human rights activist, and founder of Cambodian Living Arts, Arn Chorn-Pond. Commissioned and co-hosted by Cambodian Living Arts www.cambodianlivingarts.org and at Facebook
