Diwali of the Second Kind Comes to Orange County – Feast of Lights at Saddleback Dec. 1, 2007
November
15, 2007
Diwali,
the festival of lights, illuminates the darkness of
the New Year's moon, and strengthens friendships and
knowledge, with self-realization.
Diwali
is celebrated on a nation-wide scale on the 15th day
of the dark fortnight of the Hindu month of Ashwin,
(October/November) every year. It symbolizes that
age-old culture of India which teaches to vanquish
ignorance that subdues humanity and to drive away
darkness that engulfs the light of knowledge.
Closer
to home, a different Diwali is being planned.
The Saddleback College Choirs and the Saddleback
College Symphony will
present A Feast of Lights on Saturday, December
1 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, December 2 at 2 & 5 p.m.
This festive program, in time for the holidays brings
together the choral ensembles, under the direction of
Dr. Scott Farthing, and the Symphony Orchestra,
conducted by Dr. Carmen Dominguez. A Feast of
Lights will delight audiences with a presentation
of Christmas and Hanukkah music as well as a few
surprises. A traditional wassail is served
following the matinee and before the evening
performances.
