With only four more to go in the month, it sure sounds like it will be a smooth melodious transition into the summer for Doha’s music lovers. Two of the orchestra’s principal players will perform as soloists, the QPO says. On May 13, in the Katara Opera House, Rony Moser will perform Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, written just two months before Mozart’s death. Flying in the face of the mythology surrounding Mozart’s last days, the music is generally high-spirited. Indeed, an 1802 essay in Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung stated, “The reviewer, who has this magnificent concerto lying before him in score form, can impart to all good the happy certainty that none other than Mozart – only he – can have written it; that consequently it must be, in view of the beautiful, tasteful and proper composition, the foremost clarinet concerto in the world; for, so far as the review knows, only this one by him exists.” The May 13 concert also includes Bedrich Smetana’s Dmitrij Kitajenko in action. He is the Conductor of Honour of the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra.

Pempek cook-off in MIA Park

Pempek is the name of a well-known Indonesian dish. It originated in South Sumatera in the 16th century. It is a savoury fishcake delicacy, usually served with yellow noodles and a dark, rich sweet and sour sauce. Last weekend, the Indonesian community held a pempek cook-off in MIA Park. The event was off iciated by Andi Una Sidehabi, wife of Indonesian ambassador to Qatar. The event was held to commemorate the 40 years of Qatar-Indonesia Diplomatic relations. Ambassador Sidehabi, in his written speech, stressed the need for a sense of unity among Indonesian citizens under the Indonesian community organisation in Qatar namely PERMIQA, which is currently led by Edwin Kurniawan. The event was organised by Qatar Palembang Community (Komunitas Palembang Qatar, or Kompaq). Edi Ujang, the chairman of Kompaq, stated that true to its namesake, Kompaq’s members came to Qatar from Southern Sumatra, home of Pempek. While they work in oil and gas sector as well as in other sectors such as telecommunication, banking and finance, embassies and others they never lose the ties that binds them together with their hometown. Kompaq, established in 2009, has played an important role in enhancing the relationship among citizens in Qatar through participation in the activities of the Indonesian community in Qatar, especially the promotion of social and cultural events and other events in Doha. Ambassador Sidehabi also urged the Indonesian diaspora to demonstrate good work ethics and follow the rules and regulations of Qatar in their daily life. 12 GULF TIMES Thursday, May 5, 2016 COMMUNITY INFOGRAPHIC

TV acting is an entirely diff erent animal: Fonda

Two-time Academy Award winning actress Jane Fonda, who stars in American comedy-drama series Grace and Frankie, says television acting is foreign territory for her. “Episodic TV is an entirely diff erent animal: Being in every episode, working very long hours, not entirely knowing the arc of the entire season, having to learn lines very quickly,” Fonda told variety.com. The stars of Netfl ix’s Grace and Frankie celebrated new beginnings at its season two premiere last weekend with a screening at the Harmony Gold Theatre in West Hollywood. The two episodes screened included the show’s usual mix of comedy and pathos. The series picks up moments after the end of season one as Sol (Sam Waterston) is returning home to Robert (Martin Sheen) after having sex with ex-wife Frankie (Lily Tomlin). Tomlin said she and longtime friend and co-star Fonda have gotten along famously for more than 35 years without having “too many quarrels”. — IANS

As Kalyanji continued composing music scores for fi lms such as Post Box 999, Anandji, who was assisting him, joined him offi cially to form the now legendary Kalyanji-Anandji duo, and gave us Satta Bazar and Madari (1959). Perhaps their biggest hit early on was Chalia (1961). Two emphatic hits in 1965, Himalay Ki God Mein and Jab Jab Phool Khile, established the brothers as top-of-the-line composers.
