On Thursday, Sept. 4, the National Music Museum's brown bag lunch program featured, “An Auspicious Moment: Sampling the Sounds of Tibet.” Using instruments from the National Music Museum’s collections, a group of monks played traditional Tibetan songs.

The monks are in the area to build a sandmandala in the Levitt Gallery on Morningside College’s campus in Sioux City to raise money to equip a hospital located at their settlement in India.
