Experience West African history through the Mandé Music Ensemble with Balla Kouyaté. Learn traditional tunes and improvisation in the Irish Ceol Ensemble.
The Songwriters’ Workshop develops original songs across contemporary genres, while the rebellious spirit of the Indie/Punk/Art Rock Ensemble arranges music from icons like Dead Kennedys, Zappa, and Black Flag.
