Monica Demarco

Thursday, September 10, 2026 | 02:00 pm
Keller Hall
About:
This talk will feature an exploration of generational musical knowledge coupled with plant medicine. It addresses the prism of identity as it conflicts with Eurocentric traditions of classical music instruction. Inviting listeners to understand the piano as a gift from the natural world, this lecture-recital encourages authentic dialogue about musical lineage, belonging and the experiences of cultural/racial discrimination in the pursuit of music in academia.
Notes:
This event is free and open to the public.
