On October 29, 5:45-6:30 pm, in Memorial Hall, room 215, Liz Shropshire with Shropshire Music Foundation presents "Singing with war-affected children: Transforming lives in Kosovo, Uganda, and Northern Ireland" sponsored by UPEI AIRS will take place. Liz Shropshire is the founder of the Shropshire Music Foundation, which has provided instruments and music classes to more than 15,000 war-impacted children in conflict zones including Uganda, Northern Ireland, and Kosovo. After receiving her BMus. from Brigham Young University in Composition and Theory and an advanced graduate degree from the University of Southern California in Composition for the Music Industry, and working in music education and composition for decades, Liz dropped everything to move to a refugee camp in Kosovo where she developed innovative programs using music to redress war trauma in children. Utilizing classes taught by trained teen volunteers, the Shropshire Music Foundation continues to expand and is presently developing new programs for refugee camps around the world.
