Lecture and Workshop on Middle Eastern Music
Tuesday, May 14, 2002
Renée Bergan will give an introductory lecture on Middle Eastern music. She will briefly discuss its scale system, introduce percussive rhythms, song, dance and possibly costuming. Depending on the size of the attendants, students will have the opportunity for some hands on experience! The lecture will include video and audio examples and will culminate with a brief dance by Renée herself.
Renée Bergan is a percussionist, dancer and singer of Middle Eastern music. While attending the University of California at Santa Barbara she became involved with the UCSB Middle Eastern Ensemble and has been performing with them for the last 10 years. In 1998 she spent 6 months in Cairo, Egypt to pursue her studies of this music in
its native land. She still performs with members of the UCSB Middle Eastern Ensemble, throughout California.
