AfroCelt
featuring Judith Coe and Salil Sachdev on April 21


Dr. Judith Coe and Dr. Salil Sachdev explore cross-cultural collaborative ways of creating hybrid popular musical compositions from traditional American, Celtic, Indian, and West African sources. They investigate the dynamics of collaboration, representation, and appropriation, and present this concert of original creative work, resulting in numerous syncretisms and hybridities. Coe and Sachdev met during the summer of 2000, at the University of Limerick, in Limerick, Ireland where Coe was program chair for the International meeting of the College Music Society. 

A native of Dehli, India, Dr. Sachdev’s approach to research, composition and the collaboration process is similar to her aesthetic - highly eclectic and consisting of vocabulary and resources drawn from a variety of musical and cultural influences - and they became fast musical friends. Dr. Sachdev is currently involved in the process of making a series of films and audio recordings on the folk music of India.

Tickets are $10 for general admission, $7 for seniors and non-CU-Denver students, and $5 to CU-Denver students with I.D.  A limited number of free parking spaces are available in Lot H by mentioning this event to the booth attendant.  Call 303-556-2296 to purchase tickets or for directions to parking or the King Center.  Tickets may also be purchased at the door.

CU-Denver Music Faculty Rock-Out April 23

In addition to Judith Coe and Doug Krause on vocals, the concert will include Drew Merrell on piano and bass, Ezra Darnell on alto sax, Frank Jermance on guitar, E. J.
