MUSIC:
THE TIE THAT BINDS
THE GLOBAL SOCIETY


November 8 and 9, 1996


All Events are Free and Open to the Public


The University Center for International Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, National Humanities Center and Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools have joined with Winston-Salem State University's International Programs, Division of Education, and the Office of Academic Affairs to sponsor a two day conference that will include academic sessions, workshops and performances.

Statement of Purpose


The forum and workshops aim to promote the appreciation of music as the agent of global interpenetration of peoples and their mores. Music entertains; but it also represents and connects diverse cultures in our communities, in the state of North Carolina, in our nation and throughout the world. It has done so in defiance of all barriers.

Music as the universal ambassador provides for
cultural and national representation of individual and group efforts
across borders religions and beliefs.

Musical recordings and continued interest in the
musical history of all peoples ensure that the cultural heritage
of each remains and provides us with
a measure of unique human creative essence.

Music also provides society with a therapeutic property
which lifts the individual, artist or audience, beyond
particularistic predicaments. It empowers as it regenerates

The conference organizers and speakers aims are to provide additional information on which participants can build a solid foundation for understanding and appreciation of music as an international ambassador of goodwill.
