Correspondence

Live on the air Tuesday, 4pm

Birnpostersmallres 'Correspondence' is a broadcast with a global agenda. Each week we focus on a different country or region, integrating both the traditional and current popular music of those regions as well as enlightening listeners with historical tidbits, contemporary social issues and political affairs. The hope is to shed a little light on the important nuances of unfamiliar cultures.

On any given day Katie can be found bustling around Boston, coffee cup in hand, documenting the hubbub at hand. These transcriptions are then presented by her beloved bass and synthesizer buttons, as well as photography and written word. As a music connoisseur and curious humanitarian she not only acts as the BIRN house photographer but cohosts the new BIRN broadcast Correspondence, hoping to illuminate the sonic and cultural intricacies of the globe.

I am a 7th semester guitar player at Berklee and I have grown to appreciate all music from around the world! Being an Army brat, I consider myself a citizen of the world and I do my best to incorporate my experiences from around the globe into my show! I love reading, music, coffee, hiking, juggling, rubix cubes, video games, running, and radio!

Walk with US!

Posted on 09/24/2009 by Katie Bilinski

 

My team Correspondence is participating in GuluWalk on Oct 24, 2009 10:00 AM

in Boston, United States - - and we want you to join us!


Come be a walker (and a builder) with us by clicking on the link below:


http://my.e2rm.com/TeamPage.aspx?Lang=en-CA&TSID=250710


From our Team Page, click on the Join My Team button to register and help us

fundraise. If you can't join us, you can still support our team by making a

donation online.


Along with being a walker this year, we're also building. We're selling bricks

on our team page that will go towards building the first Youth Cultural Centre

in northern Uganda.


The centre will include a theatre, a training area and a central hub of

activity that will promote locally led approaches to arts, culture, justice

and ultimately peace.



In the midst of the country's 23-year conflict, it is the children of northern

Uganda that have suffered most. This year GuluWalk is dedicated to providing a

future for these youth.


We are walking for these children and to fundraise in support of the Gulu

Youth Cultural Centre. Help us be a build for northern Uganda and join our

team today.


Best wishes from Correspondence and the GuluWalk Team!


 

Open Your Eyes

The longest running wars of our time have gone, for the most part, completely unnoticed. Millions of people have been displaced, mutilated, abducted and killed within the last decade alone. Without awareness how can we possibility hope to fix the ailments of our earth?

 

Tonight we will address civil war torn areas in Africa, particularly touching on Uganda, Darfur and the Congo.
