“Music Around the Globe May Sound Different” was the Topic of Discussion for Passionate Music Lovers at the WOA Center in Lutsk.

On September 8 , 2013 the Window on America Center in Lutsk gathered music lovers to discuss the key points about American folk music including what it is, what instruments are played, its history, and its important styles.

  

The discussion was led by Kristi Mientka and Terry Mattison, the American Peace Corps Volunteers in Lutsk.

During the meeting 23 visitors researched the history of folk music - watched video performances, examined how aspects of American folk music and Ukrainian music are alike and different. 

Kristi Mientka played the mandolin and the present audience had fun of singing together and built community through songs singing.
