For Tony Artis, drum making combines his interests in music, aesthetics, and Nigerian Yoruba culture. His craft allows him to have a greater connection to the music he plays, because he believes that the drum takes on the maker’s voice. Come hear and learn from the master drum maker’s demonstrations and narrative stage discussions. The events will be free and open to the public, and are sponsored by Themester 2016: Beauty, an initiative of the IU College of Arts and Sciences.

Demonstrations: 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., and 2:30 to 4 p.m.
Discussion: 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Set in the 1930’s at harvest time in Ireland’s County Donegal, the play introduces the five Mundy sisters through the reminiscences of Christina’s son, now grown. Though the sisters struggled with little money and few prospects, he remembers the hope they had and the joy they found in the random moments when the radio, which only worked intermittently, suddenly filled the room with music.

Performance dates include Sept. 23, 24, 27-30, 2016 at 7:30 pm and October 1 @ 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
