Alnoor Allidina presents 3-hours of world music centred around the upcoming summer festival season. Tune in at 1pm for a mini-documentary on Vietnamese-French musicologist Tran Quang Hai who, among other feats of musical strength, can sing Ode To Joy using overtones.
| We begin with a look at some of the musicians attending this year's Sound Symposium, in St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador. Billed as an international celebration of Sound, this sonically diverse festival is held every 2 years; perennial highlights include the daily harbour symphonies, as played by ships in the harbour.
This year's festival runs from July 9 - July 15. Find out more at: http://www.soundsymposium.com/ |
| The 2010 edition of Sound Symposium featured the talented musiciologist and musician Tran Quang Hai. I was able to record an interview with him, and two years later am delighted to present it as a mini-documentary entitled "Ode To Joy". |
