Dimensions of Sound - Musical Journey Through Space and Time | New York

ENDED

New York

Exhibitions

DIMENSIONS OF SOUND - MUSICAL JOURNEY THROUGH SPACE AND TIME “The ear lies nearest to the human soul.” (Johann Gottfried Herder, „Kritische Wälder”, 1769 ) The House of Music, Hungary is a tree of life in the heart of Városliget, with a trunk, and a crown of golden leaves on slender branches. We are standing here by its roots, which provide the institution with its spiritual sustenance. The roots are entwined, like a labyrinth, and we walk among them. Our journey begins far back in time and space, back at the birth of music itself where we can grasp the roots of Hungarian folk music and European music. Progressing through the centuries, we will follow the development of music, discovering what a series of organised tones has meant to mankind, with the emphasis on Hungarians in the light—or sometimes the shadow—of Europe. Through the language of music, the exhibition speaks for itself: Everywhere we go, we hear music playing; the subject of the exhibition is music itself. Quoting Shakespeare, we might say, “Mark the music!” Mark not only the music coming from the headphones, but also the music around and within you. When you reach the end of the path, the modern day, many sounds will have been etched into your heart and mind: music to take home with you, the music of ancient times.

2026 Saranac Lake Winter Carnival | Saranac Lake

Feb 6–Feb 15, 2026 (UTC-5)

Saranac Lake

Celebration

Don't stay home this winter—come to Saranac Lake and party! Winter Carnival is a fun-filled 10-day event. Each carnival has a theme, showcased in ice palaces, costumes, and various activities. Carnival attendees can expect a variety of family-friendly activities, eclectic bands every night, a lively parade, and a variety of games, exhibits, and festivities for everyone. The 2026 Winter Carnival runs from Friday, February 6 to February 15, 2026. The atmosphere gets even more lively with the Ice Palace light show. Bundle up and watch as fireworks light up the Adirondack Mountain sky before entering this massive palace constructed from ice straight from Lake Flora. No palace is complete without royalty, so look for signs of kings, queens, and royalty while admiring the palace's features! Since 1897, our Winter Carnival has been a grassroots, volunteer-run event originally meant to celebrate the cold and wintry winter months. Later, our village's transformation from a vibrant logging community to a field tuberculosis research and treatment center gave our Winter Carnival a new impetus. Treatment at the time emphasized rest and minimal activity. But patients also needed a morale boost. Thus, the Winter Carnival was born. Like many communities in the region, Saranac Lake was in the "ice trade," cutting blocks of ice to meet the cooling needs of turn-of-the-century cities. Therefore, the equipment and expertise needed to build the first ice tower were already in place. While heavy equipment was used now, the construction techniques remained the same over a hundred years ago. Over the years, enthusiasm for the ice tower grew, and what began as an ice tower has now grown into a magnificent palace constructed from the frozen waters of Lake Flora.

Ganesha: Lord of New Beginnings | The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Jan 1, 2025–Jan 4, 2026 (UTC-5)

New York

Exhibitions

Ganesha, the son of Shiva and Parvati, is a Brahmanical (Hindu) diety known to clear a path to the gods and remove obstacles in everyday life. He is loved by his devotees (bhakti) for his many traits, including his insatiable appetite for sweet cakes and his role as a dispenser of magic, surprise, and laughter. However, Ganesha is also the lord of ganas (nature deities) and can take on a fearsome aspect in this Guise. The seventh- to twenty-first-century works in this exhibition trace his depiction across the Indian subcontinent, the Himalayas, and Southeast Asia. Featuring 24 works across sculptures, paintings, musical instruments, ritual implements, and photography, the exhibition emphasizes the vitality and exuberance of Ganesha as the bringer of new beginnings.
