Event Description
This event will be a percussive recital and workshop featuring works created by black composers and works and instruments that can be traced to roots in the African diaspora. This event will also include a body percussion workshop where you will learn how to make rhythms with your hands and also with tic-tac fresh mints so be sure to bring some! Throughout the session, there will be opportunities for questions about anything from education, to music, to STOMP.
