Join the Global Impact Circle and the Mead Witter School of Music for two imporant events: an open house and a fundraiser for the Global Impact Musician (GIM) Program. The GIM program is a cross-cultural collaboration with UW–Madison that brings together artists from East Africa and UW–Madison to create innovative projects exploring how music intersects across sectors.
- The Open House is on Februray 18, 2-4pm, at the Hamel Music Center’s Lobby
This event will be a fun opportunity for both faculty and students to learn about the GIM program, sign up and join the summer residency, and get to learn a bit about East Africa, its culture, music, and language, and meet new people. There will also be a special experience of Kenyan coffee where a very talented barista will demonstrate hand pouring Kenyan coffee while talking about East African coffee. - The Fundraiser is on Februray 19, 7:30pm, at the Collins Rectial Hall, Hamel Music Center
The fundraiser will include live performances and a panel discussion with Dr. Wanjiku Mwotia, former UN translator, and Harry Kiiru, UW–Madison PhD candidate in African Cultural Studies.
