Do we eat to live or live to eat? Does our eating reflect our values? “Organic,” “sustainable,” “local,” and “green” are quickly becoming a part of our everyday vocabulary. What is the connection between faith and food? Krista Tippett, host of American Public Media’s “Speaking of Faith,” interviews Dan Barber, co-owner and chef of Blue Hill Restaurant in New York about the ethics of food. Barber is a creator of Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture with a mission to raise consciousness about our food choices. Barber has been featured on numerous TV programs and his writing has appeared in the “Best Food Writing” anthology for the past five years. In 2009, he was named James Beard’s Outstanding Chef, and Time Magazine featured him in their “Time 100,” an annual list of the world’s most influential people. Krista Tippett's weekly National Public Radio program won the 2008 Peabody Award. A graduate of Yale Divinity School and former Fulbright Scholar, Tippett is a former diplomat and journalist who has written for The New York Times, Newsweek, and international news organizations. Presented by the Alan & Linda Cohen Center for Jewish Learning and Living at Congregation Beth-El Zedeck in partnership withWFYI and the Center for Faith and Vocation at Butler University. Questions?

Vienna Vegetable Orchestra
Saturday, November 6, 2010, 7:00 p.m.
The Toby, Indianapolis Museum of Art, 4000 N. Michigan Rd.
$18/General Public, $15/IMA members, www.imamuseum.org
Experience the Midwest premiere of the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra. Worldwide one-of-a-kind, the orchestra makes instruments and music from fresh vegetables—a pepper trumpet, a leek violin—in front of a live audience. The stunning sounds that result are contemporary, jazzy, and new. Based in Vienna and founded in 1998, the 12-member Vegetable Orchestra knows no musical boundaries. The exploration and refinement of performable vegetable music is the orchestra's aesthetic quest. Critics rave: “The Vegetable Orchestra turns music into something you can see, taste and smell… a sensory experience…liberating.” Not recommended for age 8 and under. Before or after the concert, participate in a cookbook swap: bring a gently used cookbook and take one home. Check back in the fall for details on a veggie instrument-making workshop on Sunday, November 7 from 1-5 p.m. (space limited, fee applies). Presented by the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Questions? Call 317-923-1331 or visit imamuseum.org.
The Vienna Vegetable Orchestra program has been made possible in part by support from the Indiana Humanities Council in cooperation with the National Endowment for the Humanities.
