[UC] update: Lost white cat w/black stripe on head IS BACK HOME

Fortunately, Lucy is home safe and sound. Putting up signs did the  
trick very quickly: after I spent hours scouring the neighborhood, it  
turned out she had simply run down the street and (somehow!?) gotten  
into to someone else's house. I found her well-cared for and pointedly  
unconcerned with the entire affair.

Lucy, my great little cat disappeared tonight. She's all white,  
except for a black stripe on her head. Last seen on Baltimore  
between 48th & 49th. Please call 267-507-5241. Thanks!

[UC-Announce] Sun 11/20: International percussion explosion at Crossroads Music

[Daniel Flaumenhaft]

Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 7:30 pm 

Kyo Daiko
Japanese taiko drumming
"An explosion of sound, matched by uniform choreographed movements, creating an 
avalanche of sight and sound." - Philadelphia Weekly 

Unidos da Filadelfia
Pulse-pounding Brazilian samba
Community samba school spreading the joy and excitement of Brazilian percussion 
through music education and performance 

At 801 South 48th Street (in Calvary Church). Tickets are on a sliding scale: 
$10 recommended, $20 if you can, $5 if you can't and for children under 12

We expect a large audience for this event. Buying your ticket online and/or 
coming early (box office and doors open at 7:00) means less waiting in line for 
you and less stress for our box office volunteers. 

Kyo Daiko, Philadelphia-s first community Japanese drumming group, began in 
2004 as a collaboration between the West Philadelphia branch of Settlement 
Music school and Shofuso, the Japanese house and garden located in Fairmount 
Park. Originally named Shofuso Taiko after the Japanese House, the group has 
now developed its own identity and renamed itself Kyo Daiko. They combined 
-kyo- from the word -kyouryoku,- meaning cooperation or working together, and 
-diazo,- or taiko, because taiko performers must play together with a unity of 
sound and motion. But the concept of cooperation also comes from this unique 
collaboration between Shofuso and Settlement Music School, and between these 
organizations and the communities they serve. As they celebrate their 5th 
anniversary, Kyo Daiko looks forward to refining and expanding the repertoire 
and bringing taiko to new audiences.

The taiko (literally -fat drum-) drum has been used in Japan for over 1000 
years in religious ceremonies, military exercises, dramatic noh and kabuki 
performances, and in musical performances of the royal court, but Kyo Daiko-s 
kumi daiko, or ensemble style of drumming, that dates back only to the early 
1950-s. Kumi daiko features a group of players, playing different drums and 
blending rhythms into a single ensemble piece. Drummers beat the drums while 
moving their arms and bodies in dancelike motions, creating exciting music and 
a dynamic visual performance. Kumi taiko drumming is now often seen in Japan at 
festivals and other celebrations.

Begun in the Spring of 2005, Unidos da Filadelfia is the city of Philadelphia's 
premier Escola De Samba in the tradition of Carnaval parade organizations in 
Brazil like the samba schools of Rio de Janeiro and blocos afros of Salvador da 
Bahia. Founded in 2005, the school-s mission is to spread the joy and 
excitement of Brazilian percussion through music education and performance. 
Members of the school learn to play the traditional percussion instruments and 
learn the rhythmic styles of Brazilian Carnaval, and perform at various 
community events throughout the city. Classes take place most Sunday afternoons 
at Studio 34 on Baltimore Avenue.
