Speaking with Music

When (Date)
Where
Community Room

This program is presented by Neng Now and sponsored by Beyond the Page.

HMong music is the last surviving musical language in the world—it is able to mimic HMong speech by using musical intervals, ornamentation, and chords to mimic linguistic tones, consonants, and vowels—allowing musicians to literally speak with music. However, there have not been many opportunities for this unique trait of HMong music to shine.
