The 91心頭利 Middle Eastern Music Ensemble went virtual in Spring semester
After 25 years of creating community through music and making music as a community, The 91心頭利 Middle Eastern Music Ensemble went virtual this Spring semester. Although our concerts for March and April were cancelled we resisted a complete shut-down. As we sheltered in place and at home, we kept our ensemble humming and our instruments in tune. In anticipation of our multi-media projects planned for Fall Semester 2020, we offer our project to STAY TUNED while playing in quarantine during Spring 2020. For more information about the W&M MEME, please contact ensemble director, Anne Rasmussen.
