Wabash College Presents a Salute to World Music

Crawfordsville, Ind. —Concluding its 2003 academic year activities and coming to the end of the third year since its foundation, the Wabash College World Music performance ensemble has planned to treat its Wabash College and the Crawfordsville community World music fans to a truly global concert performance. The concert will take place on Tuesday, April 22 at 8 p.m. in Salter Hall in the Fine Arts Center.

Concert items range from the exceptionally unique European Scottish bagpipes, Celtic fiddlers, French Canadian music and dancers, to the Australian Aboriginal didgeridoos, American Sea Shanties, Asian Indian music, East and West African dances as well as such instruments as African guitars, bowl lyres, log xylophones, tube fiddles, bow harps, and thunderous African dance drums.

To achieve this truly global concert performance perspective, the Wamidan ensemble will be sharing the stage with three special guest performers to enhance the audience’s experience of World Music. The special guest performers include the 42nd Royal Highland Regiment of Music, the Asian Indian instrumentalists on the flute/harmonium and tabla drums and a drumming prodigy on the royal entenga music of the Baganda.

The concert is free and open to the public.
