WHAT
Common Ground on the Hill is a traditional music and arts organization whos
purpose is to offer a quality learning experience with master musicians,
artists and crafts people, while exploring cultural diversity in search of a
"common ground" among ethnic, gender, age and racial groups. The focus of
this fourth year of programming is "Traditions: Native American, Black and
White."
Whether your artistic interest be instrumental music, singing, dance, the
spoken or written word, or the fine arts, whether the tradition that interests
you is Seminole, Ceeltic, African-American, Appalachian or Yiddish (to name a
few), you will find courses that will inspire and renew you.
