Tinworks Art: In Conversation
Remarks on the Banjo – Western Musical Identities
A conversation with Jelani Mahiri, Eric Funk, and Sally O'Neill
Wednesday, November 18
7 pm, Tinworks at Rialto
$12, or free with a valid student ID
Titled after a masterful performance by Samuel Lewis, this talk will delve into the history of the banjo, the lives of working musicians in the West, and musical identities of the Mountain West. Join percussionist and anthropologist Dr. Jelani Mahiri, composer and conductor Dr. Erik Funk, and two-time New Mexico old-time banjo state champion, Sally O'Neill—whom will lead us in conversation and invite the community to an acoustic jam session. We invite you to bring your acoustic instruments!
Tinworks Art: In Conversation are ticketed evening events, open to the public, hosted at the Rialto Theater in downtown Bozeman. Tinworks Art is an artist- and community- centered nonprofit organization and art space that contributes to the cultural and social fabric of greater Bozeman by supporting inclusive and immersive contemporary art experiences for artists and audiences in non-traditional spaces, where art meets the American West.
