CITIES eclectic and meticulously crafted menu inspired by a variety of world cuisines, and a delightful cocktail and sparkling wine menu will further transport attendees to exotic and far away destinations, while DJ HAMMOND will add to the environment with a stunning mix of melodies.
“Once I took a brush in my hands, the world would transform into that wonderful, intensely hued reality that I saw while counting colors as a little girl.” Since early childhood, Alyona has been fascinated by seeing multiple colors in the objects even the simplest ones, such as a plain grey wall. Not knowing it, she possessed the same vision as the one impressionists captured in their paintings. Only years later she realized, that their paintings were representation of her colorful world in an absolutely perfect way. “I didn’t have the same skills but I felt that I had the same vision. The same vision as Monet perhaps! I was secretly very proud of it.”
Later on the brush in her hands was replaced by the camera and she learned to see the world through the lens — in color and in black and white. On her trips to Europe, to the places where Impressionism was born she took tons of pictures with her camera, inspired by the divine combination of light, atmosphere, people and landscape of a place she was at the moment.
During her recent trip to Spain in an attempt to capture little glimpse of Spanish culture, Alyona got fascinated by how ordinary moments that go by unseen by many people become captured for eternity with a click of a shutter, as the result is her unique photo collection “Moments in Spain.”
The complete stories behind these photos may remain untold, but you can just imagine them by looking at each of the image… An accordion player in Granada throwing his hands in the air as the final expression of his performance. The elderly couple in Sevilla proudly caring themselves across the town square hand in hand. A little girl in Madrid dressed as a miniature adult holding onto her dad’s hand gazing into the street. Maybe she is counting colors, who knows?
Originally from Russia, Alyona Vogelmann is classically trained artist with a degree in Fine Art and Fashion Design. After immigrating to the United States in 1997, she transferred her artistic skills to the world web design. In 2009 she graduated with a degree in professional photography from Center for Digital Arts at Boston University and now specializes in portraiture, wedding and travel photography in Washington DC metro area.

Hammond began his career unofficially several years ago in South Carolina with DJ Andres Catlla. Proving the South was too small for him, and his appetite for adventure too great, Hammond relocated to Washington DC in March of 2008 to officially become The District’s DJ ‘Ambassador of Fun’. Since moving to the city, he adopted the DJ booth as his new home and spins a variety of house music genres including but not limited to deep, funky, and soulful house.
CITIES offers a sleek and contemporary setting with areas for lounging, mixing, and mingling as you explore the wonderful art on view. So, come and enjoy an evening of great ambiance in the company of internationally minded, socially established, and artistically inclined strata of Washingtonians.
We look forward to seeing you at

The History of Islam in Spain – By Sulayman Nyang (We are the original producer. Support us!)

We are the original producer of this video. Your purchase supports the production of new videos! See our catalog of lectures at http://www.IslamOnDemand.com
In a lecture to non-Muslims, Sulayman Nyang details the fascinating history of a European country ruled by Muslims which, not too long ago, was considered a wonder of the world and a major center of civilization. At the Dar al Islam Teachers’ Institute in New Mexico, Dr. Nyang begins with the context of Muslim Spain by discussing the Umayyid rule, its subsequent downfall and its resurrection in Al-Andulus. He then briefly outlines the events leading up to the Muslim rule in Spain, the atmosphere created by it, and the primary reason for its decline. He shows how the development, growth and contribution of Muslim Spain is not much different from modern America and its presence and influence on the world scene; a comparison that allows for a better understanding of the profound history of Muslim civilization in the West. Dr. Nyang concludes by analyzing the transformation of Muslim culture into Spain, namely the lifestyle, architecture, business dealings and knowledge. Other topics discussed: Muslims as custodians of Greek knowledge, the invention of the bank check, interfaith coexistence, Charles Martel’s victory, and the Inquisition. (Duration: 1 hour, 16 min) This lecture is the second part of a session covering Africa and Spain. The first part is entitled “The History of Islam in Africa”.

Manuel de Falla – Spanish Dance from: La vida breve
Dec 30th
Manuel de Falla y Matheu (November 23, 1876 – November 14, 1946) was a Spanish composer.
Spanish Dance from La vida breve
Alicia de Larrocha, piano
Manuel de Falla was born in Cádiz. His early teacher in music was his mother; at the age of 9 he was introduced to his first piano professor. Little is known of that period of his life, but his relationship with his teacher was likely conflicted. From the late 1890s he studied music in Madrid, piano with José Tragó and composition with Felipe Pedrell. In 1899 by unanimous vote he was awarded the first prize at the piano competition at his school of music, and around that year he started to use de with his first surname, making Manuel de Falla the name he became known as from that time on. When only the surname is used, however, the de is omitted.
It was from Pedrell, during the Madrid period, that Falla became interested in native Spanish music, particularly Andalusian flamenco (specifically cante jondo), the influence of which can be strongly felt in many of his works. Among his early pieces are a number of zarzuelas, but his first important work was the one-act opera La vida breve (Life is Short, or The Brief Life, written in 1905, though revised before its premiere in 1913).
Falla spent the years 1907 to 1914 in Paris, where he met a number of composers who had an influence on his style, including the impressionists Maurice Ravel, Claude Debussy and Paul Dukas. He wrote little more music, however, until his return to Madrid at the beginning of World War I. While at no stage was he a prolific composer, it was then that he entered into his mature creative period.
In Madrid he composed several of his best known pieces, including:
* The nocturne for piano and orchestra Nights in the Gardens of Spain (Noches en los jardines de España , 1916)
* The ballet El amor brujo (Love the Magician, 1915) which includes the much excerpted and arranged Ritual Fire Dance
* The ballet El corregidor y la molinera (The Magistrate and the Miller’s Wife) which, after revision, became El sombrero de tres picos (The Three-Cornered Hat, 1917) and was produced by Serge Diaghilev with set design and costumes by Pablo Picasso.
From 1921 to 1939 Manuel de Falla lived in Granada, where he organized the Concurso de Cante Jondo in 1922. In Granada he wrote the puppet opera El retablo de maese Pedro (Master Peter’s Puppet Show, 1923) and a concerto for harpsichord and chamber ensemble (1926). The puppet opera marked the first time the harpsichord had entered the modern orchestra; and the concerto was the first for harpsichord written in the 20th Century. Both of these works were written with Wanda Landowska in mind. In these works, the Spanish folk influence is somewhat less apparent than a kind of Stravinskian neoclassicism.
Also in Granada, Falla began work on the large-scale orchestral cantata Atlàntida (Atlantis), based on the Catalan text L’Atlàntida by Jacint Verdaguer. Falla considered Atlàntida to be the most important of all his works. Verdaguer’s text gives a mythological account of how the submersion of Atlantis created the Atlantic ocean, thus separating Spain and Latin America, and how later the Spanish discovery of America reunited what had always belonged together. Falla continued work on the cantata after moving to Argentina in 1939, following Francisco Franco’s victory in the Spanish Civil War. The orchestration of the piece remained incomplete at his death and was completed posthumously by Ernesto Halffter.
Falla tried but failed to prevent the murder of his close friend, the poet Federico García Lorca in 1936.
Manuel de Falla never married and had no children. He died in Alta Gracia, in the Argentine province of Córdoba. In 1947 his remains were brought back to Spain and entombed in the cathedral at Cádiz. One of the lasting honors to his memory is the Manuel de Falla Chair of Music in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at Complutense University of Madrid. His image appeared on Spanish currency notes for some years.
