Preparing for the big concert with a shared meal.

Thank you for your generous hospitality!

Come to Global Gallery Café, Tuesday 3/27, @6pm to see Ezé play with local musicians from Columbus!

Bring your own instrument along to jam in!

In numerous class visits, Ezé shared his story and how music guides his life. The conversations with the students have opportunities to talk about racist encounters he has faced in his life, but also how perceiving a place like Dresden only through a negative lens is often not the entirety of the story. Students were also interested in hearing what kinds of instruments he plays, where he learned them, and how he first developed his love for German.

some visual impressions below…

Yesterday, students of German recorded Ezé’s song “Eins-Zwei-Drei” doing body-percussions and singing together. More soon and a big Thank You to ASC Tech for the support.

Looking for a song to teach and learn German?
