World Music Series
The Museum is partnering with the UU Coffeehouse to bring you the World Music Series, featuring music and music documentaries from across the globe. Turku plays traditional music from the western half of the Silk Road, and Free Planet Radio plays a fusion of jazz, classical and world music. The series features two films: Screaming Masterpiece navigates Iceland's pop/rock explosion spearheaded by artists like Bjork and Sigur Ros, and The Sound of Rio explores the Brazilian sound of the choro, a precursor to bossa nova. The Columbia Guitar Society plays a short set before the Sound of Rio.
All programs take place in the Museum’s Lorick Auditorium. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. Museum galleries will be open until the show begins at 8:00 p.m. Tickets for concerts are $12; students $7; $10 museum members; $5 student members.
