Karen Taborn has been a musician for over 30 years. With musical interests spanning singer songwriter material, jazz, and Brazil bossa novas & sambas, Karen is right at home mixing up the music of Antonios Carlos Jobim, George Shearing, Laura Nyro, Stevie Wonder and her own compositions.

Also a doctoral student in ethnomusicology at IU, Karen's position as a performer and a music scholar is that the significant thing about music making is its communal aspect. In this light, music is seen as a four-way flow of energy from the Muse or universe to the musician; from the musician to the audience, and then back to the musician, with each component playing a vital role in the life flow of the music.

"I consider parades, especially ones where everyone joins in from adjoining streets, houses and buildings, wearing bright colors, singing bolsterous chants, and doing the samba or whatever is the custom, among (wo)man's greatest accomplishments"
(K. Taborn)
