Community Outreach

Projects

African Music Project

The African Music Project focuses on music education, research, performance and community development. By advocating that African music occupy a central space in institutions, and by developing strong relations with the communities in which we live, the Project extends the involvement of the Department with artistic life in general and serves as an important vehicle for community reconstruction.
