Lao Music Program - Lao Heritage Foundation

Music Project

Following the success of the August 2007 pilot project, LHF currently runs ongoing music classes in Seattle, WA, with the goal of incorporating live music with the traditional dances of Kinnaly Troupe. In addition, we collaborate with the Lao Community Center of Rhode Island in a similar program. Soon, we will offer classes in the Washington, DC area. If you are a community leader interested in establishing a traditional Lao music program in your area, please contact us at [email protected].

Students may download the following course materials:
