World Sounds, Community Voices

Listening, Playing, and Creating Together

Join a free six-week community music program at Strathcona Community League, from Friday, July 3 to Friday, August 7. The program is led by Behrang Nikaeen, ethnomusicologist and musician.

Together, we will listen to music traditions from different parts of the world, watch short live performances, and talk about the music we hear. Led by Behrang Nikaeen, PhD in Ethnomusicology; musician, the program will especially introduce sounds and instruments from West Asian music, while creating space for broader collective music-making.

Participants are welcome to bring their voice, instruments, or curiosity and take part in simple group music-making. No musical experience is needed. Improvisation will be introduced informally and accessibly through simple rhythms, simple musical patterns, listening, and response.

Lead/Facilitator: Behrang Nikaeen, PhD in Ethnomusicology; musician

Dates: July 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, and August 7
