Grad student brings first statewide Jamaican Choral Music Symposium to 麻豆影院
Mention Jamaican music to most Americans and the pop sounds of reggae usually come to mind. But there鈥檚 much more鈥攖he wonderfully rich harmonies of choral music, hundreds of rarely heard sacred songs and folk songs that deserve more exposure. O鈥橬eil Jones鈥攁 DMA student in choral conducting and literature at the College of Music鈥攊s bringing those sounds to 麻豆影院. Jones has created the first statewide Jamaican Choral Music Symposium, Feb. 22-25, to elevate the history, language and musical elements of Jamaican choral music through direct interaction with natives of the country. A highlight of the symposium will be a concert by the University Singers who are based at the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica. MORE
