Anthony Seeger |
Dr. Seeger is an anthropologist, ethnomusicologist, archivist, record producer and musician whose research has concentrated on the music of Amazonian Indians. Having lived in Brazil for nearly 10 years, he brings the music and issues of the region to life.
The lecture is offered through the Time Travelers partnership, which provides free museum admission for medical center employees, students and their immediate family with a valid identification badge. The partnership also offers lectures, workshops and other events on the medical center campus.
Dr. Seeger is a professor of ethnomusicology — the study of music from societies around the globe — at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the heir to the great musical legacy of the Seeger family. Dr. Seeger is a specialist in the music of the Suyá people of central Brazil, as well as of protest and struggle music, and has written widely in these and other fields.
Employees are encouraged to bring their lunch.
An evening lecture also is scheduled at the museum at 6:30 p.m. in the Stanley and Dorothy Truhlsen Lecture Hall. Seating for lectures is limited so reservations are required. To reserve seats, call 444-5071. The Durham Museum is at 801 S. 10th St. in Omaha.
