02/03
Ladysmith Black Mambazo

02/04
Alfonso Ponticelli's Gypsy Flamenco Project
The group plays the 1930s-style music of guitarist Django Reinhardt — foot-tappin’ swing played on acoustic instruments. It’s a blend of the jubilant swing of early jazz with the feisty passion of gypsy music and flamenco, plus a strong dose of guitar pyrotechnics and virtuosic improvisation.
02/18
The Mystical Arts of Tibet - Sacred Music Sacred Dance
traditional dances, Tibetan multiphonic chanting, and other music to channel inner spirituality and enlightenment that invoke peace, harmony, and the ways of creative living
Hugh Masekela: The Jabulani Tour (international jazz, pop, and world music)
Masekela explores his musical history in a program featuring pop, jazz, ballads, and traditional South African styles
03/10
BALKAN BEAT BOX (multicultural musical mashup of Balkan-inspired beats)
Fusing their Balkan-Mediterranean sound with punk, electronic, jazz discipline and hip-hop creates an international dynamic that, though NY born and bred, breaks the artificial borders that contain most music

RAGAMALA DANCE and Sacred Earth
RAGAMALA DANCE is a nationally and internationally acclaimed company that unfolds the beauty, elegance, poetry, and driving rhythmic complexities of Bharatanatyam, the ancient classical dance of southern India.

Anoushka Shankar and Guests: Traveler
Shankar breaks new ground as she melds the rhythmically intense music of Spain with the vibrant, ancient forms of Indian classical tradition. Immersing herself in flamenco, fandango, and tango, Shankar crafted hybrid works that employ the traditional Indian instrumentation of sitar, tabla, and bansuri flute together with flamenco guitar, voice, and percussion
