Last Saturday (February, 23)the international students had the chance to visit Randolph College and enjoy a selection of Arabic music and poetry. The event was called "Pathways to Understanding" and organized by UMMAH Club at Randolph. The event was held in the Houston Memorial Chapel of the college and the presenters were different professors of Arabic poetry, ethnomusicology, and Arabic music composers.
In this even, the students enjoyed listening to the music of different types of Arabic musical instruments like, Oud, Qanun and Na'y. What surprised the students was that some of the artists who played these instruments were American artists. Do you think "Music" and "Arts" can establish strong pathways to cultural understanding?
