Discover the promising financial strategies to fight it and discuss next steps.

 

May 27 12-1 pm Eastern: Fulbright Forum – Music – The Soundtrack of Our Lives

Music’s exceptional power to evoke memories and emotions functions on both personal and cultural levels, opening windows into wider issues of identity, ethnicity, empathy, and belonging. Join concert pianist/Steinway Artist, and Fulbright Scholar Pamela Howland, on a journey to deepen and reinvigorate your individual and collective relationship with music in this concert-conversation-demonstration featuring music from Chopin to The Beatles, Debussy to Ragtime & Blues, and Folk Songs to Movie Music. (This session is proudly sponsored by Take the Lead North Carolina.)
