“Embracing Our Environment: Integrating the Natural World with the Arts,” made possible by support from the University’s National Endowment of the Humanities and Art Fund presents the next event in its series:
Hemispheric Principles: Viewing the Environment Through Music. The event will be on March 2, 2022, from 11 a.m. until 12 p.m. in the Crystal Room in Mercy Hall. This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
Hemispheric Principles will feature Lee Mixashawn Rozie, a practicing multi-disciplinary and internationally acclaimed Jazz artist. Mr. Rozie holds a degree in History and Ethnomusicology from Trinity College and is equally at home in academic and cultural settings. Beginning from the point of Indigenous artist, using ancient cultural principles, maritime arts, and historical data, both written and oral, he has developed a system of “Hemispheric Principles” to inform and guide his artform, more directly referred to as “Wave Art”: sonic, aquatic percussive and harmonic. Mixashawn offers musical performance and educational workshops on Indigenous music traditional and contemporary, as well as original, workshops that utilize his extensive experience as a performer, Indigenous artist, and educator to inspire creativity and natural expression for all ages.
