Featuring
Facing East with John Wubbenhorst
Facing East was founded by John Wubbenhorst, a master flautist having the unique distinction of being a fluent virtuoso on both the Bansuri (bamboo flute) and Western flute. The group enjoys the rare distinction of having successfully interwoven Indian classical music with Jazz, Western Classical, Middle Eastern and Celtic influences to create a sound that is unique while remaining respectful of its sources.
Dakshina/Daniel Phoenix Singh Dance Company
Dakshina/Daniel Phoenix Singh Dance Company is an emerging dance company that performs and presents Indian dance forms, such as Bharata Natyam, and Modern dance, mirroring the multiple identities of second generation South Asians. The company combines the arts with social justice issues both by incorporating the themes into our work and via partnerships with local community centers and schools.
