 ity into the spotlight with its first Asian Music and Culture Festival to 
 be held at the Berklee Performance Center\, 136 Massachusetts Avenue\, Bos
 ton\, on October 24 at 8:15 p.m. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased onli
 ne at Ticketmaster.com.  The concert &ndash\; a series of performances fea
 turing both traditional and contemporary music from China\, Indonesia\, Ko
 rea\, Mongolia\, Japan\, Vietnam\, and Thailand &ndash\; will underscore t
 he wide vocabulary of students who have grown up influenced by Asian cultu
 ral traditions. For example\, students will perform traditional Mongolian 
 throat singing\, and another student will play the taiko (a traditional Ja
 panese wide drum) with a rock band.  \n&ldquo\;The festival is a way for A
 sian students to express their roots\, but it also serves as a gateway for
  other students to gain exposure to Asian music and culture\,&rdquo\; said
  Isaku Kageyama\, a member of the Asian Students at Berklee Club and secon
 d semester professional music student. &ldquo\;Berklee is one of the few s
 chools that truly celebrates this kind of diversity.&rdquo\;  The Asian St
 udents at Berklee club is open to all Asian and interested students who at
 tend Berklee. Its purpose is to promote social\, cultural\, and musical ne
 tworking opportunities and events for its constituency and for the Berklee
  community. The club helps to raise multi-cultural and multi-national awar
 eness on campus and builds a community and provides specialized support fo
 r Berklee's Asian and international student population.  \nAbout Berklee C
