Music of the Mayflower: Communal Music in a Time of Isolation 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. Dr. Bianca Hall, Lecturer in Music at Old Dominion University, is joined by Dr. Sandy Fryling (St. Patrick Cathedral, London OH), William Rowley (Lecturer, California State University-Fullerton), Joel Nesvadba (bass, Los Angeles CA), and Dr. Jason Yoshida (Lecturer, University of Southern California) in a virtual concert and question/answer period on music that passengers on the Mayflower brought with them, the music they would have known, and music about mariners of their time. The presentation demonstrates the resilience of individuals, both those who braved the Atlantic voyage, and also 21st-century musicians who continue to find ways to connect with others in this time of Covid-distancing. This free event is presented by the ARTS@VWU and the Wesleyan Sacred Music Institute. For Zoom registration, visit https://zoom.us/webinar/ |
