Roots and Resilience: A Musical Conversation

Featuring Vân-Ánh Võ with Ethnomusicologist Alexander M. Cannon

The Traditional Music of Vietnam: Roots and Resilience is co-presented by the Center for World Music and the Vietnamese American Non-Governmental Organization (VANGO) Network.

In traditional music, one finds the essence of the strength and resilience of the Vietnamese diaspora. Folksongs connect people in recollection, and new works inspire audiences to share their stories. In this event, composer and multi-instrumentalist Vân-Ánh Võ reflects on her innovative take on traditional Vietnamese music. 

JFG's Building Resilience pop up museum stems from the Community 1,000 Cranes project that invited everyone to create an origami crane in hopes to reach a total of 1,000 cranes together to promote recovery, solidarity, and resilience during the initial stay at home orders that began in March, 2020. This pop up museum is designed to activate a public space outside of Balboa Park by bringing JFG demonstrations and exhibits as well as locally partnered programming in an accessible manner to promote cultural exchange.
