Peter White, professor of English and American Studies, is featured in the November issue of Albuquerque The Magazine. His work in creating and teaching others to create violins through his “The New Mexico Musical Heritage Project” is the focus of the article, titled “Fiddling with History.”
His goal in the project, he said, is to teach rural students the “centuries-old art of violinmaking and unique folk songs to take back to their communities.” To pick up a copy of the magazine visit: Fiddling with History.
