Brown Center for World Music.\u00a0 Robert E. Brown (1927-2005) was an American ethnomusicologist.\u00a0 Recognized for having coined the term \u201cworld music,\u201d Brown studied ethnomusicology under Mantle Hood at UCLA and eventually established the Ethnomusicology program at Wesleyan University. He assisted in founding the American Society for Eastern Arts in 1963.\u00a0 Later it was renamed the Center for World Music in San Diego of which Brown was also its founding president. Near the end of his life, Brown donated his personal papers and instrument collection to the University of Illinois.\u00a0 With this gift, the Robert E. Brown Center for World Music was established at the University of Illinois in 2006 and officially inaugurated in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>This exhibit explores the educational initiatives of both the Center for World Music in San Diego and the Robert E. Brown Center for World Music at the University of Illinois, focusing on their use of the Gamelan as a medium for educating the public about world music.\u00a0 Brown once stated \u201cWe have much to learn from one another.\u201d\u00a0 This exhibit highlights the contributions of Robert E. Brown and the educational and outreach initiatives of the two centers, by examining archival records housed at the Sousa Archives and Center for American Music and the music instruments at the School of Music.<\/p>\n<p>This exhibit was curated by the MUS 421\/521 class\u2019s students Henrique Assi Hernandes, Megan Ferrari, Andrew Gaffey, Mengqi Lai, Reza Torangan, Alexandra Yaralian, and Lilia Yaralian and their instructors Nolan Vallier and Scott Schwartz. \u00a0For further information about this exhibit email <a href=\"mailto:vallier2@illinois.edu\">Nolan Vallier<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;We Have Much to Learn from One Another&#8221; exhibit opened yesterday at the University&#8217;s School of Music lobby documenting the work of the Robert E.
