A celebration of African music from different countries and compositions by African American and African-Latin American composers including William Grant Still, Nathaniel Dett, Moses Hogan, Modesta Bor and many others.

House is a connective cultural tissue that brings people together under the vise of dancing, sometimes at 120 beats per minute. The 120 project looks at distinct music cultures and presents how House music can inspire intercultural exchange and collaboration. This iteration of The 120 Project will focus on global sounds and house music.
