Pure Water: An Interfaith Community Dialogue
Cache Community Connections and the USU Center for Community Engagement are partnering with the Bear River Heritage Area to host “Pure Water: An Interfaith Community Dialogue.” The Hyrum Museum is currently displaying the Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit “H20 Today,” which explores the importance of water in the natural and cultural landscapes of our country, and this dialogue event supports the community outreach mission of the exhibit.
What role does water play in your religious or spiritual practice? What is the symbolism of water in your sacred texts or influential writings? How is water connected to the core-building experiences that have influenced who you are? All community members are invited to share their beliefs and experiences in this interfaith setting, with discussion from local representatives from various traditions and Religious Studies scholars.
Participants can expect to sit at round tables with discussion prompts and will be encouraged to rotate through the tables in order to speak with a variety of other community members. Mask-wearing is encouraged. After sharing in small groups, an invited speaker panel will discuss themes that came up in conversations and provide more insight into the importance of water in many religious and spiritual traditions.
H2O Today is a traveling exhibition created by the Smithsonian Institution and brought to you by Utah Humanities and the Bear River Heritage Area. H2O Today and associated events are part of Think Water Utah, a statewide collaboration and conversation on the critical topic of water presented by Utah Humanities and its partners.
Connecting Neighbors: Miho Everitt
Miho Everitt attended the Yamaha Music School in Osaka, Japan where she began to study music at the age of four. At the age of nine, she became a student of Virtuoso Jorg Demus. At nine years old, she also won the All Japan Piano Competition. Since then she has won numerous competitions in Japan, including the All Japan soloist contest.
After receiving her bachelor’s degree in music from the Soai University in Osaka, she moved to the United States. She enrolled in the master’s piano performance program at the University of Utah. She wasn’t able to finish her master’s once she started a family. But she continues to be a master without the degree!
Miho’s story holds “more to the story” when she tells about her decision to take a DNA test which uncovered a deep family secret. The test has given her some great insight about people and the prejudices they hold. Many may be surprised to find that those they hold prejudicial opinions about may be some of their relatives!
Miho continues to teach piano lessons and can be reached at 435-764-2960. Her email is [email protected]. You can also view her profile at mihoeveritt.weebly.com.
Quartet for the End of Time Performances
As we commemorate the events that led to CCC’s creation twenty years ago this month, we are excited to partner with professors from USU’s Caine College of the Arts in their performances of Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time. This quartet was written and premiered 80 years ago in January 1941 in a prisoner of war camp, and it is a powerful work that speaks eloquently about the experience of transcendent hope in the midst of incredible loss and injustice that seems to parallel the trials that many are going through currently.
Violinist Rebecca McFaul, cellist Heather Smith, clarinetist Nicholas Morrison, and pianist Cahill Smith will perform the work twice, free of charge. Masking is encouraged for audience members.
