Ethiopian-American musician and TED Fellow Meklit Hadero joins Egyptian ethnomusicologist Mina Girgis and musicians from along the Nile River for a boundary-crossing evening of new music raising visibility about our water-based environmental challenges. Inspired by Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project, the Nile Project is a platform to spread musical traditions of - and environmental awareness about - the 11 countries touching the Nile. The engagement will include a public performance, educational outreach, master classes, expert panels, and more.
