4 Cities of Love: Singing in the Language of Others

This collaborative performance video was completed by Reza Yazdanpanah under Dr. Ajay Heble’s supervision in April 2021. In this video, 5 musicians with different first languages sing in the languages other than their own as an application to the approach of equity, diversity, and inclusion. This project was funded in part by the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Enhancement Fund at the University of Guelph.
