Retiring Ethnomusicology Professor Daniel Neuman completes 24 years at UCLA
UCLA to Host Memorial Concert for Daniel M. Neuman
A special concert titled "A Sarangi Concert of Hindustani Music: Ustad Sabri Khan Memorial Concert" is set to take place on Saturday, April 28. The event, which is a celebration of the career of Professor Daniel M. Neuman, will be presented by the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music and the Mohindar Brar Sambhi Endowed Chair in Indian Music.
Daniel M. Neuman, a renowned ethnomusicologist, has dedicated his career to the study of Indian music, particularly Hindustani classical music and its cultural contexts. Over the years, he has made significant contributions to the field through extensive research, documentation, and publication of books, articles, and curated audio-visual materials.
Neuman has held various academic positions at institutions such as the University of Washington and UCLA, where he has served for twenty-four years. During his tenure, he has served as dean of UCLA Arts, interim director of The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, and executive vice chancellor and provost.
The concert, which is not a regular event or series, is not related to Neuman's retirement, which will occur at the end of the spring 2018 quarter. The location of the concert is not specified in the text.
Professor Steven Loza, chair of the ethnomusicology department at UCLA, made the following statement about Neuman: "Daniel M. Neuman is a major scholar dedicated to the study of Indian music, worldwide. His retirement will mark the end of an era in the study of Indian music at UCLA, but his legacy will continue to inspire and enrich the field for years to come."
The program and performers for the concert have not been specified in the text. However, it is expected to be a fitting tribute to Neuman's career and the legacy of Ustad Sabri Khan, a renowned sarangi musician.
This special event, the "A Sarangi Concert of Hindustani Music: Ustad Sabri Khan Memorial Concert," is not only a celebration of Ustad Sabri Khan but also an acknowledgment of Professor Daniel M. Neuman's significant contributions to education-and-self-development, particularly in the field of learning Indian music. As Neuman retires, his legacy will continue to influence and enrich the world of Indian music at UCLA and beyond.
