What is Native American music? It is a question that arguably many scholars, ethnomusicologists, and anthropologists still struggle to answer today. In this lecture, Brandi Berry Benson, a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation, performing musician, composer, and scholar, shares her insights and research of Native American music traditions from a Native perspective, putting forward the notion that this may be the wrong question to ask altogether.

Sponsored by the Department of Fine and Performing Arts. This event is free! RSVP encouraged.
