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:Natalie Merchant
DESCRIPTION:Natalie Merchant has earned recognition among America’s most respected recording artists\, drawing audiences with her captivating performances and intentional songwriting over her 40-year career. Her music blends folk\, rock and world music influences\, and she continues to be regarded as a pioneering figure in alternative music. She joins the Chautauqua Lecture Series during our week on “Art and Artists Against the Odds” to speak on her passion for arts education for young people.  \nHer latest record\, “Keep Your Courage” (released in 2023 on Nonesuch Records)\, finds Merchant in peak form. The album dives into love and human connection in its many forms—with Merchant’s voice to keep you hanging on every word.   \nMerchant has also distinguished herself as a social justice and environmental activist through her work with a wide variety of non-profit organizations\, and by creating documentary films and large-scale community arts projects.    \nMerchant began her musical career as the lead vocalist and lyricist of the pop music band 10\,000 Maniacs in 1981 and released two platinum and four gold records with the group. She left the band in 1993 and has subsequently released nine albums as a solo artist with combined sales of seven million copies.   \nIn 2007\, Merchant was appointed by Governor Elliot Spitzer to serve on the New York State Council on the Arts\, and in 2022 Senator Chuck Schumer appointed her to the board of trustees of The American Folklife Center at The Library of Congress. Merchant’s awards for artistic excellence and philanthropic work include: the ASCAP Champion Award\, The Library Lion Award from the New York Public Library and The John Lennon Real Love Award. In 2025 the National Head Start Association made Merchant their national artist-in-residence.  \nA few days following her lecture\, at 3 p.m. on Sunday\, August 2\, 2026\, Merchant will be joined by the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra for a free family concert\, “Cabinet of Wonder Live!” Under the baton of Principal Pops Conductor Stuart Chafetz\, the concert will be a joyful reimagining of Mother Goose developed in collaboration with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra\, and will also include classic children’s poetry that she adapted to music for her highly praised double-album release\, Leave Your Sleep.
