*Diaspora Sounds: Innovation and Creativity in Music Learning and 
Performance*

Friday 1st June 2018, 9:30am to 6:30pm
Richard Hoggart Building 167, Goldsmiths, University of London

This one-day symposium will bring together academics and musicians to 
discuss innovation and creativity in diasporic music learning and 
performance. Cutting across disciplinary boundaries and across sectors, 
/Diaspora Sounds/ will address current musical practices in diasporic 
communities in the UK. The symposium will provide an opportunity for 
engagement and dialogue between academics and musicians involved in 
teaching and performance to develop new perspectives.

The symposium is convened by Jasmine Hornabrook and sponsored by the 
Institute for Music Research (IMR <http://www.the-imr.uk/>) and the 
Asian Music Unit (AsMU <https://www.gold.ac.uk/asmu/>) at Goldsmiths.
