It’s one that sees Earth as a planet in a vast empty universe. It profoundly influences what we think and feel about science\, culture\, politics\, and life itself. \nTickets start at only $39.95 and are on sale now! A limited number of VIP Q&A tickets will also be available which includes premium seating and a post-show question and answer session with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson. \nAbout Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson\nDr. Neil deGrasse Tyson was born and raised in New York City where he was educated in the public schools clear through his graduation from the Bronx High School of Science. Tyson went on to earn his BA in Physics from Harvard and his PhD in Astrophysics from Columbia. \n\n\n\nIn 2001\, Tyson was appointed by President Bush to serve on a twelve-member commission that studied the Future of the U.S. Aerospace Industry. The final report was published in 2002 and contained recommendations (for Congress and for the major agencies of the government) that would promote a thriving future of transportation\, space exploration\, and national security. \nIn 2004\, Tyson was once again appointed by President Bush to serve on a nine-member commission on the Implementation of the United States Space Exploration Policy\, dubbed the “Moon\, Mars\, and Beyond” commission. This group navigated a path by which the new space vision can become a successful part of the American agenda. And in 2006\, the head of NASA appointed Tyson to serve on its prestigious Advisory Council\, which guides NASA through its perennial need to fit ambitious visions into restricted budgets. \n\nNeil deGrasse Tyson by Patrick Queen for Columbia Magazine \nIn addition to dozens of professional publications\, Dr. Tyson has written\, and continues to write for the public. From 1995 to 2005\, Tyson was a monthly essayist for Natural History magazine under the title Universe. And among Tyson’s fifteen books is his memoir The Sky is Not the Limit: Adventures of an Urban Astrophysicist; and Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution\, co-written with Donald Goldsmith. Origins is the companion book to the PBS NOVA four-part mini-series Origins\, in which Tyson served as on-camera host. The program premiered in September 2004. \nTwo of Tyson’s other books are the playful and informative Death By Black Hole and Other Cosmic Quandaries\, which was a New York Times bestseller\, and The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America’s Favorite Planet\, chronicling his experience at the center of the controversy over Pluto’s planetary status. The PBS NOVA documentary The Pluto Files\, based on the book\, premiered in March 2010. \nIn February 2012\, Tyson released his tenth book\, containing every thought he has ever had on the past\, present\, and future of space exploration: Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier. \nFor five seasons\, beginning in the fall of 2006\, Tyson appeared as the on-camera host of PBS NOVA’s spinoff program NOVA ScienceNOW\, which is an accessible look at the frontier of all the science that shapes the understanding of our place in the universe. \nDuring the summer of 2009 Tyson identified a cadre of professional standup comedians to assist his effort in bringing science to commercial radio with the NSF-funded pilot program StarTalk. Now also a popular Podcast\, for three years it enjoyed a limited-run Television Series on the National Geographic Channel. StarTalk combines celebrity guests with informative yet playful banter. The target audience is all those people who never thought they would\, or could\, like science. In its first year on television and in three successive seasons\, it was nominated for a Best Informational Programming Emmy. \nTyson is the recipient of twenty-three honorary doctorates and the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal\, the highest award given by NASA to a non-government citizen. His contributions to the public appreciation of the cosmos have been recognized by the International Astronomical Union in their official naming of asteroid “13123 Tyson.” And by zoologists\, with the naming of Indirani Tysoni\, a native species of leaping frog in India. On the lighter side\, Tyson was voted “Sexiest Astrophysicist Alive” by People Magazine in 2000. \nIn 2017\, Tyson published Astrophysics for People In A Hurry\, which was a domestic and international bestseller. This adorably readable book is an introduction to all that you’ve read and heard about that’s making news in the universe—consummated\, in one place\, succinctly presented\, for people in a hurry. \nThat was followed in 2018 by Accessory to War: The Unspoken Alliance Between Astrophysics and the Military\, coauthored with Avis Lang\, in 2019 by Letters from an Astrophysicist\, both New York Times Bestsellers\, and in 2021 by Cosmic Queries: StarTalk’s Guide to Who We Are\, How We Got Here\, and Where We are Going\, coauthored with James Trefil. \nTyson served as Executive Science Editor and on-camera Host & Narrator for Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey\, the 21stcentury continuation of Carl Sagan’s landmark television series. The show began in March 2014 and ran thirteen episodes in primetime on the FOX network\, and appeared in 181 countries in 45 languages around the world on the National Geographic Channels. Cosmos won four Emmy Awards\, a Peabody Award\, two Critics Choice awards\, as well as a dozen other industry recognitions. Tyson reprised his role as on-camera host for the next season of Cosmos—Cosmos: Possible Worlds\, which premiered on the National Geographic Channel in March 2020 and on the FOX network in September 2020. \nTyson’s latest books are Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization and To Infinity and Beyond: A Journey of Cosmic Discovery\, coauthored with Lindsey Nyx Walker\, both New York Times bestsellers. \nTyson is the fifth head of the world-renowned Hayden Planetarium in New York City and the first occupant of its Frederick P. Rose Directorship. He is also a research associate of the Department of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History. \nNeil deGrasse Tyson lives in New York City with his wife\, a former IT project manager with Bloomberg Financial Markets. \n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/event/cosmic/ LOCATION:Kleinhans Music Hall\, 3 Symphony Circle \, Buffalo\, NY\, 14201\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/241014-degrasse-sq.jpg GEO:42.9025038;-78.8817523 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Kleinhans Music Hall 3 Symphony Circle Buffalo NY 14201 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=3 Symphony Circle:geo:-78.8817523,42.9025038 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241010T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241010T200000 DTSTAMP:20260617T074451 CREATED:20240425T164853Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240909T192505Z UID:7024-1728590400-1728590400@kleinhansbuffalo.org SUMMARY:BABEL | Sandra Cisneros DESCRIPTION:Just Buffalo Literary Center presents\nBABEL featuring Sandra Cisneros\nThursday\, October 10\, 2024\n8:00 pm\nDoors open & VIP Patron Reception at 7:00 p.m. \nJoin Just Buffalo Literary Center’s BABEL series for an evening with Sandra Cisneros. \nSandra Cisneros is a poet\, short story writer\, novelist\, essayist\, performer\, and artist whose work explores the lives of the working-class.

In his observant\, often hilarious work\, Laymon does battle with the personal and the political: race and family\, body and shame\, poverty and place. His savage humor and clear-eyed perceptiveness have earned him comparisons to Ta-Nehisi Coates\, Alice Walker\, and Mark Twain. He is the author of the award-winning memoir Heavy\, the groundbreaking essay collection How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others in America\, and the genre-defying novel Long Division. \nLaymon’s memoir Heavy won the 2019 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction and was named one of the Best Memoirs of the Past 50 Years by The New York Times. A personal narrative that illuminates national failures\, Heavy is defiant yet vulnerable—an insightful\, often comical exploration of weight\, identity\, art\, friendship\, and family. \nABOUT THE BOOK  \n*Named a Best Book of the Year by the New York Times\, Publishers Weekly\, NPR\, Broadly\, Buzzfeed (Nonfiction)\, The Undefeated\, Library Journal (Biography/Memoirs)\, The Washington Post (Nonfiction)\, Southern Living (Southern)\, Entertainment Weekly\, and The New York Times Critics* \nIn this powerful\, provocative\, and universally lauded memoir—winner of the Andrew Carnegie Medal and finalist for the Kirkus Prize—genre-bending essayist and novelist Kiese Laymon “provocatively meditates on his trauma growing up as a black man\, and in turn crafts an essential polemic against American moral rot” (Entertainment Weekly). \nIn Heavy\, Laymon writes eloquently and honestly about growing up a hard-headed black son to a complicated and brilliant black mother in Jackson\, Mississippi. From his early experiences of sexual violence\, to his suspension from college\, to time in New York as a college professor\, Laymon charts his complex relationship with his mother\, grandmother\, anorexia\, obesity\, sex\, writing\, and ultimately gambling. Heavy is a “gorgeous\, gutting…generous” (The New York Times) memoir that combines personal stories with piercing intellect to reflect both on the strife of American society and on Laymon’s experiences with abuse. By attempting to name secrets and lies he and his mother spent a lifetime avoiding\, he asks us to confront the terrifying possibility that few in this nation actually know how to responsibly love\, and even fewer want to live under the weight of actually becoming free.

Appropriately titled\, this latest album is a subtle stylistic turn that builds on the commercial success of 2020’s Solid\, his highest charting release ever on the pop charts\, peaking in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200. \n“The urge to write again came from the joy of being back on the road\, performing in front of live audiences\,” explains Boney. “I had shut down creatively when the pandemic hit. It was the disruptive and disorienting detour we all took when the world locked down\, and that’s reflected in the more experimental directions some of the new music takes. The thing about a detour\, you may take a different route\, but you still get to your destination.” \nLike Solid\, Detour provides a welcome respite from an increasingly foreboding world filled with political strife. It’s a trip through James’ distinctive contemporary jazz/R&B landscapes\, layered in quicksilver watercolor images and cinematic set pieces. Detour represents the next extension of Boney James’ trademark blend of genres which includes blues\, soul\, roots\, classical\, art-pop and hip-hop. \n“There are some people who think I’m a legend\,” laughs Boney about his status as one of the best-kept secrets in music. “And others who have never heard of me. It’s kind of a nice place to live and play in. I do sense a great deal of positive energy towards the music I’ve been making recently and for that\, I’m tremendously grateful.” \n“Coastin’” featuring Lalah Hathaway\, a breezy ride through Malibu on the Pacific Coast Highway\, will be the first single at Urban Adult Contemporary radio. “I am so thrilled to finally have the opportunity to collaborate with Lalah\,” says Boney. “I am a huge fan and it was a complete joy to co-write this song and have her come over and sing this amazing performance.” \nJames’ new album gets underway with the title track\, a winding\, playful duet between sax and piano evoking a breezy\, leisurely drive on an open road\, that features some of Boney’s most adventurous playing.  “I close my eyes and listen\,” he says about choosing a name for a particular cut\, and “Detour” fits this one perfectly. “The title is my trying to poetically convey what I feel when I listen to the music.” \nThere are also “detours” along the way for a steamy\, sweaty summer day in a bluesy “Memphis\,” a shimmering glimpse of the aurora borealis via Boney’s chill-inducing soprano sax solo (“Northern Lights”) and even the fleeting present moment in the heartbeat which opens the closing “Blur\,” a wistful lullaby that still manages to point us to the future. \n“Bring It Back\,” the first Contemporary Jazz radio focus track\, features a patented warm Boney melody\, highlighted by a spirited funky point-counterpoint between James’ rhythmic tenor sax and buzzing West Coast new jazz musician Dontae Winslow’s punchy trumpet licks. “That interplay is one of my favorite moments on the album\,” says Boney. \n“Tribute” is a eulogy to Boney’s father\, an entertainment attorney who represented him for most of his life\, who died last October. It’s a rhythmically complex neo-classical meditation\, both “harmonically jazzy\,” but with a finger-snapping hip-hop pulse. “The Loop” takes a drumbeat from touring drummer Omari Williams (looped\, of course) recorded in mono directly to Boney’s iPhone and\, yes\, detours into a winding\, twangy Wes Montgomery-esque blues guitar solo that gently waxes and wanes like a rolling tidal wave. “It’s pretty wild\,” says Boney. There’s a seductive intimacy to the sax/bass duet in “Intention\,” an idea that came from production team Anakin & Vader. \nDetour was recorded largely at Boney’s L.A. home studio in his backyard (live drums and percussion were tracked at venerable Sunset Sound)\, with both regular collaborators like former band guitarist\, now an in-demand writer/producer\, Jairus “J-Mo” Mozee (Anderson.Paak\, Nicki Minaj\, Anthony Hamilton) and hot newcomer BeatsMadeByFresh aka Christian Frazier. Among the other musicians on the album are keyboardist Tim Carmon (Eric Clapton)\, longtime drummer Omari Williams and bassist Alex Al\, renowned percussionist Lenny Castro\, and guitarists Big Mike Hart and Paul Jackson Jr. \nNicknamed by bandmates while on tour in Oslo\, Norway\, after jokingly threatening to starve himself on a threadbare per diem\, Boney or Bones or Boneman (though his wife calls him Jimmy) has put in his proverbial 10\,000 hours as a musician\, performer\, writer and producer. At age 10\, the New Rochelle\, NY native picked up the sax after 2 years on the clarinet and never looked back\, parlaying his love of R&B –Motown\, Stevie Wonder\, Earth Wind & Fire\, Curtis Mayfield and Grover Washington\, Jr. — into a musical aesthetic. He turned pro before his 20th birthday and became an in-demand touring sax and keyboard player for Morris Day\, the Isley Brothers\, Teena Marie\, Bobby Caldwell\, Randy Crawford and many others. \nIncreasingly frustrated by playing other people’s music\, Boney launched his own solo career with 1992’s Trust on the indie Spindletop Records. His subsequent 17 studio albums – including a pair of Christmas records – have been released by Warner Bros.\, Verve and Concord\, with 1995’s Seduction\, 1997’s Sweet Thing and 1999’s Body Language all RIAA certified gold. In 2015\, Boney’s futuresoul spent 11 weeks atop the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart and was the best-selling Contemporary Jazz Record of 2015. \nDuring his 30-year career\, Boney has earned four Grammy nominations (“I’m not gonna lie… I’d still love a statue\,” he says)\, two NAACP Image Award nominations and a Soul Train Award\, while a dozen of his albums have landed at #1 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Album chart.  His collaborators in the past include a who’s who of R&B and soul: Raheem DeVaughn\, Faith Evans\, George Benson\, George Duke\, Dwele\, Al Jarreau\, Philip Bailey\, Anthony Hamilton\, Jaheim\, Eric Benét\, Dave Hollister\, Stokley Williams\, Kenny Lattimore and Angie Stone. \nFor the inimitable Boney James\, life begins at 60. The cat in the hat is back and better than ever\, enjoying life with his wife of 37 years\, actress/director Lily Mariye. \n“What drives me is my love of making music and my desire for people to hear what I’ve made\,” he says. “I still love the communal aspect of playing live. There’s nothing else like it.” URL:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/event/boney-james/ LOCATION:Kleinhans Music Hall\, 3 Symphony Circle \, Buffalo\, NY\, 14201\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/11/Press-Photo.png GEO:42.9025038;-78.8817523 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Kleinhans Music Hall 3 Symphony Circle Buffalo NY 14201 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=3 Symphony Circle:geo:-78.8817523,42.9025038 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240220T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240220T190000 DTSTAMP:20260617T074451 CREATED:20230907T165017Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240126T204910Z UID:5827-1708455600-1708455600@kleinhansbuffalo.org SUMMARY:Diving the Great Barrier Reef: Erika Woolsey | NAT GEO LIVE DESCRIPTION:Kleinhans Music Hall is pleased to welcome Erika Woolsey as part of the National Geographic Live 2024 series\, taking place in the Main Hall with reserved seating and cushy seats!

Click here for more details! \nA.J. Croce performs Croce Plays Croce\, a special night of music featuring a complete set of classics by his late father Jim Croce\, some of his own tunes\, and songs that influenced both him and his father. This special event features such timeless songs as “Operator”\, “You Don’t Mess Around with Jim”\, “Time in a Bottle” (a song written for A.J.)“\, Rapid Roy (The Stock Car Boy)”\, and “Lovers Cross”\, to name a few. \nThe Croce Plays Croce 50th Anniversary show features a legendary band (including drummer Gary Mallaber\, bassist David Barard\, guitar/violin James Pennebaker) and a moving multi-media presentation accompanying Jim’s songs (which on the previous tour included memorable hits\, “Operator (That’s Not the Way It Feels)”\, “Time in a Bottle\,” and others). It was fan-demand for more\, and the camaraderie that A.J. felt with the audience\, the players\, and the connection to his father’s timeless music that inspired A.J. to embark on the 50th Anniversary tour for 2023. “The audience reaction has been so great\,” says A.J. “The shows we did last year were not only met with a huge response\, but I learned so much about what works and what resonates\, we knew we had to keep going.” \nJim Croce was an American folk singer with a short-lived professional recording and touring career\, and decades of posthumous fame as one of the greatest songwriters and artists ever.  With sales surpassing 50 million records\, including three #1 songs and 10 Top 10 hits\, Jim Croce’s short career and long-lived legacy are well-remembered through his era-defining standards like “Operator”\, “Time in a Bottle” and “Bad\, Bad Leroy Brown”. \nAbout A.J. Croce \nA.J. Croce’s 30-year touring and recording career has produced ten studio albums that have been released via both major and independent labels\, and have charted 20 Top 20 singles and all ten albums on the radio including on Top 40\, Americana\, and Blues. A virtuoso piano player\, he has performed at a TED Talk and gave a master class at the University of Barcelona. Croce has performed on major talk shows and news programs including The Late Show\, The Tonight Show\, The Today Show\, CNN\, MTV\, and VH1. He’s toured with such esteemed artists as Willie Nelson\, Lenny Kravitz\, Earth\, Wind\, and Fire\, and B.B. King. While his last album\, Just Like Medicine\, paired him with producer and soul legend Dan Penn and an all-star cast of players and guests like Vince Gill and Steve Cropper\, his new album was born of memories — of favorite artists and shows\, but mostly\, of late-night gatherings with groups of friends\, many of them fellow musicians\, with Croce at the piano taking requests. Croce revisits these musical evenings on By Request (out on Compass Records) with 12 personally curated covers that traverse decades and genres\, propelled by his spirited\, piano mastery and emotive vocals. With a rich catalog of original compositions A.J. first recorded and released a composition of his fathers with a never-before-recorded song “Name of the Game” on his Just Like Medicine release. In 2018 he covered the 1973 hit “I Got A Name” for a Goodyear commercial with Dale Earnhardt Jr. URL:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/event/croce-plays-croce/ LOCATION:Kleinhans Music Hall\, 3 Symphony Circle \, Buffalo\, NY\, 14201\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Croce-plays-Croce-Square.jpg GEO:42.9025038;-78.8817523 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Kleinhans Music Hall 3 Symphony Circle Buffalo NY 14201 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=3 Symphony Circle:geo:-78.8817523,42.9025038 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240204T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240204T180000 DTSTAMP:20260617T074451 CREATED:20240117T154539Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240201T194512Z UID:6006-1707069600-1707069600@kleinhansbuffalo.org SUMMARY:Mohd Rafi DESCRIPTION:Mohd Rafi World Tour\nPresented by Gujarati Samaj of Buffalo-WNY and Chai \nCelebrating Rafi Sahab’s legacy of heartfelt romance and soulful melodies.  Featuring Shahid Rafi\, Neelanjana Ray\, Mohammed Salamat\, Priyanka Mitra\, Prakhar Ghosh\, Sammy M and Gautami R. \nFor tickets visit Spresh Indian Supermarket: 3355 Sheridan Drive\, Buffalo 14226.  Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door.

She received the Pulitzer Prize in 2000 for Interpreter of Maladies\, her debut story collection.

The city she calls home acts as a companion and interlocutor: traversing the streets around her house\, and in parks\, piazzas\, museums\, stores\, and coffee bars\, she feels less alone.

Choro[vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nAbout Bokyung Byun\nPraised by Classical Guitar Magazine as “confident and quite extraordinary\,” Korean guitarist\, Bokyung Byun enjoys a reputation as one of the most sought-after guitarists of her generation. Byun holds the distinction of being the first female winner of the prestigious JoAnn Falletta International Guitar Concerto Competition\, where Falletta herself described  Byun’s performance as “stunning\, showcasing her gorgeous tone\, immaculate technique\, and sophisticated musicianship.” This win is among many wherein Byun excelled in the competitive circuit\, including winning the grand prize at the Guitar Foundation of America International Concert Artist Competition\, known as the most prestigious guitar competition in the world. \nA bevy of orchestras\, festivals\, workshops\, and guitar societies look to Byun for solo performances and masterclasses. In recent seasons\, Byun has performed as a soloist with orchestras\, including the Buffalo Philharmonic\, the Utah Symphony\, West Los Angeles Symphony\, New Juilliard Ensemble\, the Aspen Music Festival Orchestra\, among others. Her solo recital highlights include performances at the Kumho Young Artist Series\, Philadelphia Guitar Festival\, Aspen-Salida Concert Series\, Toronto Guitar Weekend\, Guitar Montréal\, Ellnora | The Guitar Festival\, and San Diego Guitar Festival. She was acclaimed for performing “eloquently through a diverse and challenging program\,” by Michelle Fratus\, president of the board of the Knoxville Guitar Society\, and having “confidence\, passion\, excellent projection and great dynamic contrast” by Heather Morand Clark\, president of the Guitar Society of Toronto. \nCommitted to expanding the role of a 21st-century musician\, Byun’s concert program often features contemporary music alongside traditional repertoire. As Byun herself says\, “it’s vital and exciting to audiences for concerts to join the new with the old. For guitar music to continue to grow\, I believe that new works must actively be cultivated in programming\, and it is my hope that audiences leave my performances with new experiences.” This skill at navigating both classic repertoire and fresh work has led her to co-found Sounding Board: The New Music Initiative for Guitarists and Composers. The project focuses on promoting collaborative relationships between composers and performers to create new works for guitar\, and its inaugural festival in Besançon\, France in 2019 has been praised as “extraordinary\, in the strict sense of the word\,” by La Presse de Gray in France. \nByun’s debut recording in 2020 has been praised by Soundboard Magazine as “a very beautiful disc. From the first notes of the “Gallarda” from Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Escarraman\, we are treated to extraordinary musicianship\, technical assurance\, and beauty of sound.” American Record Guide says “Byun’s interpretation enlivens them with creative phrasings\, articulations\, spacing\, and dynamics\, which take the listener beyond most performances I have heard.” \nBorn in Seoul\, Korea\, Byun began playing guitar at the age of six. At eleven\, she took the stage for her first solo recital\, leading to an early start in her teen years performing numerous concert tours around Korea\, to enthusiastic response\, including millions of views on YouTube. By her teen years\, she had gained national attention for first-prize finishes in three renowned competitions: the Korea Guitar Association\, the Music Association of Korea\, and the Guitar Foundation of America International Youth Competition. \nByun soon moved to the United States\, where she briefly studied in Los Angeles before moving to New York City\, where she entered The Juilliard School at the age of sixteen. She holds Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees from The Juilliard School and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Southern California. She is grateful to the masterful instruction of her pedagogues\, who include Scott Tennant\, William Kanengiser\, Chen Zhi\, Tae-soo Kim\, and Sharon Isbin. \nIn 2020\, Byun co-founded Guitarlab which has provided an innovative online learning platform offering cutting-edge classes designed for young professionals around the world. Byun is currently on the guitar faculty of California State University Fullerton. She is sponsored by Augustine Strings and plays a guitar by Dieter Mueller (2019).

In this edge-of-your-seat presentation\, Bryan shows you what it means to adventure with purpose\, and why he believes the best expeditions are the ones with a healthy chance of failure. He’s faced machete-wielding locals in Papua New Guinea\, suffered frostbite during the first-ever ice climb of Niagara Falls\, explored the South Pacific’s deepest canyons\, and scaled North America’s tallest mountains to bring you behind the scenes and capture the impossible. \nAbout \nPhoto by Mike McKay \nBryan Smith is an award-winning filmmaker based out of Squamish\, British Columbia. His first documentary\, 49 Megawatts\, received acclaim both for its amazing kayaking footage and insightful exploration of the controversy over British Columbia’s river-based energy production. An online version went viral and led to two-feature length sea kayaking films. His work has appeared at numerous film festivals across the world\, including the prized Banff and Telluride Mountain Film Festivals. \nIn the past few years\, Smith has built on his adventure film roots and developed a strong reputation in both TV documentary and commercial cinematography. With a knack for storytelling\, an ability to assemble great teams\, and an insane work ethic\, his client list has grown to include National Geographic\, Discovery\, Disney\, Red Bull\, Patagonia\, New Belgium Brewing\, Arcteryx\, and more. In 2010 he earned a National Geographic Expedition Grant for his work in Kamchatka\, Russia\, and launched into digital media\, co-producing and directing The Season web TV series.

Label him jazz and he makes a funk record. Call him an R&B artist and he drops an acoustic jazz trio collection. Brand him pop and he creates a 32-minute New Age opus. And you’d be hard pressed to name another instrumentalist of his ilk who can mount an elaborately designed concert production that will keep him on the road for three consecutive months. \nCulbertson burst onto the scene in 1994 with a chart-topping album that he recorded in his college apartment featuring keyboard-led contemporary jazz tracks. “Long Night Out” landed him a lengthy record deal and signaled that a star was born. \nHis upcoming nationwide tour kicks off in 2023\, with a stop in BUFFALO\, NY ON SUNDAY\, MARCH 26\, 2023 at KLEINHANS MUSIC HALL!

New for this season\, the series will take place in the main auditorium at Kleinhans so audiences can enjoy the cushy seats\, the wonderful ambiance and reserve their seats in advance! \nPhoto by Sandesh Kadur \nSandesh Kadur first encountered a wild cat in his native India as a teenager—after sitting in a tree for hours under a full moon\, a leopard walked directly under him. The experience sparked a fascination that led him to spend his career documenting the country’s unmatched diversity of wild cats. With landscapes spanning the towering Himalaya\, arid plains\, and dense jungles\, India is home to 15 species of wild cats\, more than any other country in the world. While many of its big cats are well known and thoroughly documented\, Kadur is on a mission to highlight the country’s lesser-known felines in order to protect their future. \nFinding and filming India’s often elusive small cats challenges Kadur’s patience\, natural history knowledge\, and skills as a photographer and filmmaker. He traveled to remote villages in the frigid Himalaya in search of the grumpy-faced Pallas’s cat\, whose tiny size made it extraordinarily difficult to track. His pursuit of a fishing cat\, which jumps into water to catch its prey and has learned to thrive alongside human habitation\, brought him to one of India’s most densely populated regions. And he spent years attempting to capture images of the mysterious clouded leopard\, considered the evolutionary link between big and small cats\, in the wild.  \nThrough Kadur’s captivating images and video\, get an up-close look at a world of wild cats you’ve never seen before. \nAbout\nPhoto by Felis Images \nBAFTA Award-winning filmmaker and National Geographic Fellow Sandesh Kadur creates documentary films that have aired worldwide on prominent networks such as National Geographic\, the BBC\, Netflix\, Discovery Channel\, and Animal Planet. He is a Senior Fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers. Through the use of images both still and moving\, Kadur hopes to harness the power of nature education as a catalyst for long-term change. His goal is to inspire his audience to protect and appreciate what remains of our wilderness. He is also the Founder/Director of Felis Creations – a media and visual arts company based in Bangalore that focuses on creating content that inspires conservation. \nKadur’s work spans from the elusive snow leopard in the Himalaya to the Okavango Delta in Botswana and the endangered Kemp’s Ridley turtles in Mexico. He is the producer of a three-part docuseries for National Geographic titled “Wild Cats of India” and “India’s Wild Leopards.” He is also the co-author of two books: Sahyadris: India’s Western Ghats—A Vanishing Heritage (2005) and Himalaya—Mountains of Life (2013). His first documentary\, Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon (2002)\, which was accompanied by his first book\, earned critical acclaim while drawing attention to one of the world’s top biodiversity hotspots and helped convince UNESCO to name the Western Ghats a World Heritage Site in 2012. \nPhoto by Felis Images \nKadur’s work has won a slew of prestigious international awards\, including a 2017 EMMY nomination and the 2017 BAFTA Award for his work on BBC’s Planet Earth II. In 2013\, he received the Nature’s Best Windland Smith Rice Award and the North American Nature Photographers (NANPA) Vision Award in recognition of early career excellence and continuation of vision and inspiration to others in nature photography\, conservation\, and education. He has also won the International Conservation Photographer Award (2012)\, CIWEM Environmental Photographer of the Year (2008)\, Gold REMI Award for Creative Excellence (2008)\, multiple International Wildlife Film Festival Merit awards\, and was nominated twice for a Green Oscar at the Wildscreen Film Festival\, among many other awards and nominations.  \nKadur hopes that his photographs and documentaries will reveal places and species people rarely see and will inspire new passion to protect them. \n  \nThank you to our sponsors!\nLead Sponsors:\n  \nPromotional Sponsors: URL:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/event/sandesh-kadur/ LOCATION:Kleinhans Music Hall\, 3 Symphony Circle \, Buffalo\, NY\, 14201\, United States CATEGORIES:National Geographic Live ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://kleinhansbuffalo.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/Nat-Geo-KADUR-2023-Web-L7-.jpg GEO:42.9025038;-78.8817523 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Kleinhans Music Hall 3 Symphony Circle Buffalo NY 14201 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=3 Symphony Circle:geo:-78.8817523,42.9025038 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230228T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230228T190000 DTSTAMP:20260617T074451 CREATED:20221108T181624Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230130T214122Z UID:5371-1677610800-1677610800@kleinhansbuffalo.org SUMMARY:NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC LIVE | Brian Skerry: Secrets of the Whales DESCRIPTION:Kleinhans Music Hall is pleased to welcome Brian Skerry as part of the National Geographic Live 2023 series!
