Special McAndless Lecture and Musical Performance by The Formosa Quartet: An American Roadmap

Join the Formosa Quartet on a musical tour of America. From the blues to bluegrass to jazz to motown, the Formosa Quartet will discuss the historical context behind musical selections as well as the group’s own journey in developing the American Mirror Project inspired by Derek Skye’s work of the same name. The American Mirror Project, which examines perceptions and assumptions about American culture through the lens of music and the performing arts, seeks to hold an honest mirror up to America through thought-provoking and dynamic musical performances. Attendees will have an opportunity to engage the quartet with questions and dialogue.

Thanks to the generous support of private donors and the Provost's Office of Eastern Michigan University, admission is free.
