SUMMARY:CHQ Mystic Heart - Mateo Mortellarto\, Tibetan Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Taking a general and non-sectarian approach to Buddhism\, Mateo Mortellaro (Konchok Tsering Tengye) has years of experience leading meditation and teaching Buddhist philosophy. Mateo started his spiritual journey early in life practicing Zen Buddhism\, eventually shifting focus to the Tibetan tradition\, primarily within the Drikung \,Kagyu and Sakya schools. \nMateo’s main teacher is His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche\, the world-renowned Buddhist master and Yogi. While his main practice and personal approach is of the Buddhist tradition\, Mateo also follows the rich and eclectic teachings of Baba Ram Dass\, giving instructions using language and methods that are accessible to Western students of all levels of experience.\nMateo has been fortunate to receive teachings and instructions directly from masters such as H.H the Sakya Gongma Trichen Rinpoche\,H.E Garchen Rinpoche\, H.E Bardor Tulku Rinpoche\, and Shechen Rabjam Rinpoche. Other influential teachers include His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama\, Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh\, and Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. \nMateo is also the founder of KTT Dharma\, which is aimed at making spiritual teachings available to those interested through media sharing\, interviews\, his writing\, and teachings.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua Opera Conservatory with the Music School Festival Orchestra "L’Enfant Prodigue & Les Mamelles de Tiresias"
DESCRIPTION:Music by: Claude Debussy & Francis Poulenc\nLibrettist: Édouard Guinand & Guillaume Apollinaire\nStage Director: Emma Griffin\nConductor: Timothy Muffitt  \nTwo masters of French music share the stage in a sparkling double bill. Francis Poulenc’s Les Mamelles de Tirésias (1945) bursts with surreal satire\, flipping gender norms topsy-turvy in a wildly imaginative romp of music and mischief. It’s paired with Claude Debussy’s luminous early masterpiece L’enfant prodigue (1884)\, a one-act cantata suffused with longing\, redemption\, and sumptuous lyricism. Together\, these works deliver an evening of operatic drama and delight.     \nThe Chautauqua Opera Conservatory is a premier\, immersive summer program offering the highest caliber of training for young singers ages 18 and older. Under the leadership of Director Jonathan Beyer\, participants join a select community of singers who study\, coach\, and perform in the inspiring and idyllic setting of the Chautauqua Institution in western New York State.   \nOur program combines rigorous artistic preparation with a warm\, encouraging environment that puts each singer’s growth and well-being first. Voice lessons\, role study\, vocal coachings\, and masterclasses are led by a distinguished full-time faculty of voice teachers\, coaches\, and stage directors\, alongside renowned guest artists from the world’s leading opera houses and conservatories. Students explore and perform repertoire spanning Opera\, Art Song\, Oratorio\, Chamber Music\, and Crossover styles. \nComprised of top-tier students from conservatories and universities in the U.S. and abroad\, Music School Festival Orchestra members participate in a variety of musical activities during their summers at Chautauqua including chamber music and private lessons along with their meticulous orchestral training. Alumni from the MSFO can be heard in many of the world’s top orchestras and chamber ensembles and can be found on music faculties worldwide. The MSFO is led by Artistic Director Timothy Muffitt\, who serves as Music Director of the Lansing Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Laureate of the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra.
