Asian Folksong Music Score Project

Musicians who play flute, viola, piano, or percussion instruments are invited to join a workshop followed by a live performance in the Butterbox Theatre.

Workshop: The workshop aims to develop skills in small ensemble playing, as well as provide an opportunity to explore, and interpret traditional Asian music arranged for modern Western orchestral instruments. Discover the rich traditions of Asian folksongs in two vibrant, hands-on workshops led by Dr. Karen Lonsdale.
