About
What is SSENT?
The Student Society for Ethnomusicology at North Texas is open to all UNT graduate and junior/senior undergraduate students. The purpose of SSENT is to promote a diversified understanding of music making in world cultures through education, service, and performance. Every academic year, the organization hosts a "Hear the World" concert, which is organized entirely by its student members with the assistance of SSENT's faculty advisor, Professor Steven Friedson. Other activities include student-led cultural events, information/research panels to explore the discipline of ethnomusicology and support student research, and promoting performances of UNT world music ensembles.
