While many people may know a little about the intriguing land of Tibet, it is a rare opportunity to experience its unique culture firsthand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Newham is in for a treat this month with a live performance by Tenzin Choegyal, one of the world\u2019s finest Tibetan musicians, as part of his 2023 Be the Ocean <\/em>concert tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A son of Tibetan nomads, Tenzin feels a particular affinity to the music of the Himalayan plateau and is one of a handful of artists keeping Tibet\u2019s music alive in the freedom of exile. Tenzin plays dranyen (Tibetan lute) and lingbu (bamboo flute) but is best known for his extraordinary vocal ability and performance of droklu, the nomadic music of his parents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In a career spanning more than 25 years Tenzin has performed at festivals and events across Australia and internationally, including performances at New York\u2019s Carnegie Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An outstanding composer\/ performer with a great depth of musical knowledge, intuition and inventiveness, Tenzin continues to create new sounds while strongly holding the essence of ancient Tibetan wisdom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
