We warmly invite you to join us for an evening dedicated to Kurdish music education across Kurdistan and the diaspora.
Together with musicians and academics, we will share stories, experiences, and reflections on how Kurdish music has been learned, preserved, and passed on, often in challenging conditions, and to better understand what kinds of initiatives exist today, where they take place, and how they shape spaces for learning.
The evening brings together conversation, live music, and presentations of our upcoming projects, creating a space to listen, share, connect, and get involved in future projects.
German & English with live interpretation depending on the speaker
