Teaching Music in Kabul - http://funds.gofundme.com/11hh0

In January of 2011 Larry and I will travel to Kabul to teach and perform with young Afghani musicians at the Afghan National Institute of Music (ANIM - http://www.afghanistannationalinstituteofmusic.org/).

This is part of an initiative by the New England Conservatory to set up more enduring relationships between NEC and schools in many other parts of the world. NEC student Robin Ryczek is spending a year teaching at the ANIM and we will be joining her, along with NEC faculty member Tanya Kalmanovitch, for part of the ANIM winter music festival.

We will be blogging about this trip and our experiences in Kabul! Please visit http://funds.gofundme.com/11hh0 and http://necinafghanistan.tumblr.com/ right now to learn more about the project.
