(Approx. 120 mins)

An NCPA Presentation

The world that we live in is buzzing with myriad traditions and musical forms across various indigenous cultures. Music from around the world exerts wide cross-cultural influence as styles influence one another. This festival showcasing varied musical forms reaffirms the peaceful co-existence of cultural and artistic plurality in the world. With this event, we celebrate the power of music as a healing force that promotes cross-cultural understanding, and remind people of all cultures and religions that we share a common humanity.
