ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Kirtrina Baxter
will offer a presentation entitled "Drum Circles: Connecting Human
Spirit Through Rhythm" at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 18, at the
Center for
Multicultural Experiences in Lee Hall at the SUNY College at
Oneonta. Admission is complimentary, and members of the community
are invited to attend.
A drum circle is a group of people gathered into a circle for the
purpose of making music with percussion instruments. Circles can
range from a few friends in a living room to hundreds of people at
an event. Drum circles are thought to contribute to creativity,
healing, and empowerment.
Kirtrina Baxter began playing percussion instruments as a child
in her church. As an adult, she re-discovered her relationship with
drums. She began playing with friends, in a band, and as a drum
circle leader. She now conducts drum circle workshops through which
she tries to "share the creative, healing aspects of drumming, and
empower others to find self-expression and wholeness through music."
More information about Kirtrina Baxter's appearance at
SUNY-Oneonta is available from the Center for Multicultural
Experiences at (607) 436-2663.
