How Can We Sing?: Music and Displacement
Russia, Ukraine, Laos, Vietnam, Greece, Germany
How can music save a person's life, or preserve a suffering group's identity? I will immerse myself in the cultures and forms of musical expression of displaced people around the world to explore this question. Connecting with local craftsmen, musicians, and students, I will arrive at a more complete understanding of music's power.
