Jacobson is a Grammy award winner and Webster is
a specialist in West African instruments.
APEX director, Lynn Vartan, explained in her
introduction that this is, “usually a lecture series with
a lot of words — today is as little words as possible.
We want to talk about the language of music. The
language of sound and music and what the spirit
of music can do to us. Today will be an expansive
exploration of connection in music and the power of
collaboration between sounds.”
Vartan told the audience to, “Just relax after
midterms. Let this music wash over you. It is
almost trance-like. Let music take you wherever it
is going to take you.”
Webster played multiple instruments during the
performance, primarily the Kora and Kamele n'goni.
The Kora has 21 strings (11 played by the left hand
and 10 by the right), a large calabash cut in half and
covered with cow skin with a long, hardwood neck.
The Kamele n'goni is a string instrument and the

expressed, “Raga is that which colors the mind. A
certain feeling that is evoked from a combination
of pitches. It’s a sort of a melodic form as it goes up
and down.”
Further explaining Raga, Jacobson said that
“A raga is not a scale. A raga has a very definitive
motion between those notes. Raga is a really
nuanced thing and it takes a long time to learn.
Raga is not a written thing. It's an aural tradition. It
is too nuanced to actually write in western nota-

Livestock & Heritage Festival
honors historic contributions to Cedar City
by Corey Baumgartner
Iron Count y Today
The Cedar Livestock Festival returned
to Cedar City with a lineup that included an
Antique Tractor Pull and Draft Horse Pull,
the Dennis Stowell Memorial Ranch Rodeo,
vendors, vintage cars, quilts, delicious lamb
burgers, a Dutch oven cook-off and of
course, lots of sheep.
The highlight of the Festival was the
annual sheep parade. Though they took a
little longer to meander their way down
Cedar’s Main Street, it was worth the wait
for the woolly guests. A new and exciting
addition to this year’s parade was a herd of
impressive longhorn cattle.
After the sheep made their exit from their
exodus, the parade-goers made their way to
the Diamond Z Arena to enjoy the many other
fun events of the weekend, which included
Cowboy Church and a special concert by Chris
Petersen that honored the Livestock Festival
Grand Marshall, Brad Schmutz.
