On September 23rd, Zankel Music Center launched listeners into a captivating cultural experience with The Tuvergan Band; a Mongolian folk group complete with an array of beautifully unique instruments and vocals. The Chicago-based band debuted in 2020 and has since toured countless venues including performing at The Chicago World Music Festival, The Chicago Cultural Center, and of course, our very own music center. Students and faculty were lucky enough to attend the performance free of charge, relax into a wonderful musical experience and gain new insight into music from other cultures. Music plays an integral part in Mongolian culture and the performance was a compelling and unforgettable experience. The folk band’s lead singer Tamir Hargana  is also using this week to visit student’s classes, asking music students around campus to indulge in exciting new sounds and engage in conversation with new faces.  He gave demonstrations and explanations of the vocal styles and instruments,  led throat-singing workshops, and even let the students ask him questions and prompt discussion about the music.
