Music in the Stacks: Re-discovering the Ney

Dec 3, 2019 at | Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center - Albrecht Music Library, 4th floor west, 3420 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104

The recital is part of an ongoing exhibit project about the Turkish four reed-Ney instruments acquired by the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania as a gift given by Sarah Frishmuth, renowned collector of antique musical instruments at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. The recital offers an organological contribution informed by the ethnomusicological research on Muslim mysticism and listening by Juan Castrillón (PhD student, Penn).
