Violin Solo - Relationship of African, Indian, European, & American Music
with Violin Soloist, Diane Monroe
This acclaimed violin soloist and recording artist (a member of the New
York String Trio) demonstrates her amazing musical skill with an amplified
electronic violin. Classical music from Africa, India, Europe, and America
are compared and contrasted with West African and old and new American
rhythms of spirituals and hip hop. Students are invited to join in for an
improvisation session of rhythm and sound. A very unique experience
indeed!
This program is highly recommended for Middle School and High School Workshops.
