This session will be a followup, dealing in more depth with questions of geography, trade routes, culture, languages and their influence on music.
We'll explore more cross-cultural music, and focus on music for bowed (as against plucked) strings, and wind instruments.
All are welcome; technical knowledge of music is not needed.

Our Speaker:
Tom Benjamin is a composer, music theorist, conductor and performer- only because he can't decide what he wants to do when he grows up. He tau ght music theory and composition for far too many years at the University of Houston, the National Music Camp (Interlochen) and the Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins, where he chaired the Theory Department. Tom has just retired from a wonderful 30-year gig as Minister of Music at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbia. He's looking forward to a new and very different kind of teaching with the swift folks at TVIH.
