Event Details

Encircling the World is an ongoing series of events presented by North Wind Concerts, a musical project designed to illuminate the common experience of musicians and music lovers from many traditions. On November 9, 2024, we’ll focus on drums and drumming, with

MARILYN GEORGE, voice, dehwehgun, Nimkii dehwehgun (thunder drum)

GRAHAM HARGROVE, bodhrán, rhythm bones

HOOMAN TOOTOONCHIAN, daf                        

Encircling the World: DRUMS is an evening of solo and group music making, commentary and discussion, and interaction with the audience. The musicians work in Anishiinabe, Irish and Persian musical traditions, in diverse ways and on diverse instruments. Each musician will play a solo set and speak about their instruments, tradition, playing techniques, musical experiences, or whatever they choose to share. They will also improvise some music together, and the audience will be able to interact with questions and discussion.

These shows are eye- and ear-opening experiences with an easygoing atmosphere, and we’re looking forward to it. Please join us!
