COMPLIMENTARY

FINE WINE AND CHEESE TASTING @ SAVOUR WITH KATHLEEN AND SUSAN

We are giving our wine reps a little time off on these lovely summer weekends so they can spend that time with family. Rather than the usual formal wine tasting, we are offering an informal cheese and wine tasting. Susan and I will be here to pour and discuss the wines and the classic pairings we are featuring, such as goat cheese and Sauvignon Blanc.

Also, just to let you know, my family will be flying in from Phoenix this evening and staying until Thursday. Since my time is very limited with them, I will be closing Savour for ONE DAY (Tuesday, July 23) so I can spend the day with my daughter and her family, as well as my husband’s son, who is also flying in from Phoenix. I am sure they will all enjoy the beautiful, much cooler weather here on Cape Ann. We will be open Wednesday – Saturday of next week, for the usual hours of 11 am until 6 pm. Thank you for your understanding.

Enjoy an evening of classical dance from India. This double-bill Indian classical recital is from 7:30pm- 9:00pm on Friday, August 16th at Windhover Center for the Performing Arts and will feature Bharatanatyam and Kathak and consist of four ensemble pieces and two solo pieces.

About Bharatanatyam:

Bharatanatyam is the most popular classical dance form of India, with sculptural

evidence dating back nearly 2000 years. The dance in its present form originates from the Hindu temples in Southern India and is about 200 years old. It is a dedicatory style with strong undertones of spirituality. At the same time, the Bharatanatyam vocabulary framework lends itself well to modern day subjects and continues to evolve as a living performance art.

About Kathak:

Kathak is a classical dance from Northern India uniquely characterized by its use of 

intricate and powerful footwork, rhythm, music, mathematics, and subtleties of expression to weave together compositions and stories. Each of India’s classical dance forms embodies both the intricacies of beauty and grace as well as tremendous powerful movement, rhythm, and expression.

Artist Bios:

Soumya Rajaram is a well-known Bharatanatyam dancer in the Boston area with

over two decades of performance experience across the USA and India. A grant

recipient from the Cultural Council of Massachusetts and New England Foundation

for the Arts, Soumya is featured regularly at the New England Folk Festival, Jose

festivals in Chennai, India. Soumya has over 15 years of teaching experience,

training her students for a full-length evening recital. Her experience also includes

guest lectures and teaching at The Jose Mateo Ballet theater, UMass Boston, Salem

State University and Harvard University.
