Alash, a Tuvan throat singing ensemble, was in Pittsburgh on Sunday, December 7th, for a concert at YourInnerVagabond, the hip, global coffeehouse and lounge in Lawrenceville, PA. The Alash quartet has collaborated with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones on their Grammy nominated album, Jingle all the way. Give that album a listen for a new twist on popular holiday tunes. (Imagine a Tuvan throat singing version of Jingle Bells !)
The concert was a fantastic experience. Alash rocked the house with folk songs from Tuva. The venue was perfect, and the audience enjoyed every bit of the concert. Here are some photographs from the concert:

Set the alarm for 6:00 am, got up early and cast my vote at 7:06 am. This is my first time voting as a U.S citizen, and it felt good participating in the democratic process. Now the waiting begins…

Lucette de Rugy of Artlumiere has brought back her series of prominent Pittsburgh landmarks painted by light. The first in the series this year, the Cathedral of Learning and the Stephen Foster Memorial, look resplendent at night. The lights went on yesterday, and continue till November 20th. Other landmarks in Oakland, and the rest of the city will gradually be painted with light as part of the Pittsburgh 250 celebration. I was there tonight, and shot a few frames. I’m going to go back again soon, and I’m waiting for Heinz Chapel and St.Paul’s Cathedral to be lit up too. Here’s a PDF link to the Festival of Lights walking map.
Here’s how the Cathedral of Learning and the Stephen Foster Memorial look during the day.
