Music and Sound Across Traditions

The OSU Center for the Study of Religion invites you to an evening of religious sound and music. This community-building event will feature instrumental and vocal performances from individuals, community groups, religious organizations and additional friends, all sharing an example of musical or sonic practice from their tradition. 

Focusing on the role of sound and music in local religious practice, this event strives to build community relationships and showcase connections between sound and religion in Central Ohio. Information on performances is coming soon: there will be representations of Byzantine chant, Sikh kirtan, classical Indian dancing, Mennonite songleading, contemporary Jewish liturgy, Tibetan Buddhist chanting, Cuban orisha dance and Persian traditional music with a wide mix of genres, styles and instrumentations.

Formal schedule coming soon.

RSVPs are requested: go to the website for more information, including parking information, and to RSVP. 

Co-sponsored by The Center for the Study of Religion, The Melton Center for Jewish Studies and the Humanities Institute.

This event is free, open to the public and welcoming to everyone, with free on-site parking.

The Humanities Institute and its related centers host a wide range of events, from intense discussions of works in progress to cutting-edge presentations from world-known scholars, artists, activists and everything in between.
