A
Christmas Gift
For the past few years alumni
and students have helped put together Christmas gifts for Charles
Wang and PH Tuan, donor and architect respectively, of the
Charles B. Wang Center Celebrating Asian and Asian American Cultures
at Stony Brook University. This year the gift happened
serendipitously (God looks after fools...) and while we wish we could take credit for it all,
in truth we just put
everyone else's work and generosity together. Although they will
not realize it until they read this issue of the SBU AA E-Zine, here
are the four unknowing accomplices who made the 2003 Christmas gift
possible.
And to those innocent accomplices - our
deepest thanks! Timothy Mount, Director of Choral Music, heard the Wang
Chapel acoustics, realized the superiority to Staller's recital hall for vocalists, and
said (figuratively of course),
'I want that place!' Sunita Mukhi, Wang Center Director, made sure its mission was
met by collaborating with Tim to have the SB Camerata Singers first concert in Wang be a true meeting of East and West. Tim and the Camerata
Singers, many of whom are SBU alumni, not only had to learn new
pieces, but new languages too! Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, and
Tagalog. And last
but not least, alumnus Paul St. Denis, the CELT
Multimedia Lab Director who teaches E-Zine students taking Media Studies
courses, recently donated space on CELT's
streaming server so campus events could be viewed with the best
technology, and this concert is our first use of it.
Unfortunately, Albany budget cuts
have SBU reeling and CELT has but one streaming server. So this Christmas gift will only be
online in this
format for a limited time before it is archived on the Zine
server. After the New Year it will be streaming video but not on
a streaming server. Any alumni music lovers who can donate
servers to CELT, please do! With enough equipment all campus events
could be online!
The biggest thank you of all, of
course, is to the two men,
and their wives and families, who made this all
possible.
Merry
Christmas
Charles and Nancy
and
PH and Gwynne
Love, the Asian and
Asian American
Alumni, Students and Friends
of Stony Brook University
and most especially
SBU AA E-Zine

Comes preinstalled with Windows. Apple, Palm, and other versions
available. Click link to download free copy. Linux users need Version 7 or higher. We apologize to off campus viewers
without high speed access. This cannot be viewed with a slow speed modem dial-up connection. We had a choice of good quality
and access to everyone on campus, or medium quality and access to the
world. We were selfish and chose good quality. The tapes are not
enhanced and are simply joined together during intermission. |

UPDATE: This was a case
of techies speaking Greek. Video is now on another server and
quality is just as good. Difference is that unlike CELT
streaming server, it must download to your computer first before it
will play. Obviously, since it is long, that takes awhile, and
with dial-up may be impossible. The advantage now, however, is
that once downloaded, you can copy it. Stephen Yeung made a DVD
and though the visual quality is not for large screen, the sound on
the huge SONY speakers in CELT is great. - JMY |
