Music in the Arb September 16, 2012

All invited to an afternoon of world music in the University of Michigan Nichols Arboretum. Free! With performances by U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance and U-M Residential College faculty and students, including Michael Gould playing Argentine music with his duo “Michael Gould and Alberto Rojo,” Susan Walton with gamelan ensemble, the Noraysa Philippine Music Ensemble, and more.
