WELCOME TO OUR 2025-2026 MUSIC IN CULTURAL CONTEXTS SEASON

 Welcome back to our very special MUSIC in CULTURAL CONTEXTS SEASON (since 2013)

We invite you to join us for a chamber concert featuring Jillian Risigari-Gai and the Thai Ensemble

Jillian Risigari-Gai, harpist
Doctor of Musical Arts student
UCLA's Herb Alpert School of Music

Jillian and her ensemble will take us to the musical roots of the HARP: to the British Isles, France, and along The Silk Road and West Africa. We will hear harp traditions of Southeast Asia: the double action harp and the Burmese harp, sang-gauk with the Cambodian Boat Festival Song, arranged by SASTRA MOON with RANE PRAK (ethnomusicology Ph.D. student) and Wot and Mel Liu (UCLA alumna) on percussion. Finally, we travel to India, Japan, and China, and close with Suite Galactique: Exosphere, with Caroline Lizotte.

This is a one-time opportunity to go around the world from the University Club,
Wednesday, OCTOBER 15th 2025 at 12 Noon. Please email me for attending this concert.
