After the Revolution of 1919, when Egypt gained her sovereignty, the new kingdom bristled with possibility. Egypt was now, as one American jazz musician put it, “a country where the Egyptians reign, the English rule, and everybody does as he pleases”. By 1922, when Tutankhamun’s tomb was being uncovered in the Valley of the Kings, Cairo had become, says Raphael Cormack, “one of the most exciting cities in the world for anyone to spend the night in during the 20th century”. Those who enjoyed the Arabian Nights included businessmen, spies, émigrés, and activists from Germany, Poland, Italy, Argentina, Japan, England and Greece. If the 1920s roared louder in Cairo than in any other capital, the female entertainers roared loudest of all.

As my foreign friends like to say, it is what it is. Reconciled to the reality of what it is, and since there are no forests in Dhaka for forest bathing, I go up to the roof with a glass of cool lemonade instead of hot tea, sit among the myriad plants that I have collected, and do plant bathing, while taking deep breaths of what I like to imagine is pure oxygen.
Face turned to the sky, I lean back and enjoy the feeling of just being alive. The birds chirp, parrots fly past and a breeze stirs gently in the palms.
A violin duet Michael Kimber composed in 1964 is having its world premiere Sunday and Monday, under the artistry of Miera Kim and son Oliver Bostian.
Duet in G, written in the classical style of Mozart, will open “Holidays with Wolfgang,” part of Red Cedar Chamber Music’s Hearth & Home series.
The free concert features Kim on violin, husband Carey Bostian on cello and their sons Oliver, 18, on violin and viola, and Adrian, 16, on cello and piano. It will livestream from the family’s Iowa City home, via links on Red Cedar’s website, YouTube channel and Facebook page.
Rounding out the program are Corelli’s “Christmas” Concerto and Mozart’s Piano Quartet in G minor.
