Sigal Music Museum Lectures made possible by a major grant from South Carolina Humanities

The Sigal Music Museum late-2023/early-2024 Distinguished Lecture Series talks were made possible by a major grant from South Carolina Humanities. The last lecture of this season is a wrap. All the lecture videos have not yet been edited, but we wanted to take a moment to express our thanks to South Carolina Humanities and give everyone a look at the fruits of their grant.

Iliana Rose - The Evolution of Cuban Music
Xiao-Fen Min - Echoes of Revolution and Jazz
Adam Maalouf - World Percussion Workshop
