Visual artist Kevork Mourad and composers Badie Khaleghian and Reinaldo Moya join Liza Stepanova, associate professor of piano in the Hugh Hodgson School of Music, and moderator Alan Flurry of the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, for a discussion about their individual experiences with immigration and how those shape their creative processes. The three artists contributed to Stepanova’s recent album E Pluribus Unum, which showcases a confluence of voices, narratives and ideals created by nine composers representing a diverse array of immigrant backgrounds and stories.

The conversation is presented as part of the 2021 Global Georgia Initiative public events series of the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts, in partnership with the Hugh Hodgson School of Music and the Franklin College.

Advance registration for the event, which will be conducted via Zoom webinar, is required and available here.
