Global Voices live

A Mehfil, as they say in the East and South Asia, is not a concert per say, but a spontaneous, spirited gathering of musicians and artists, which takes place in the presence of a critical audience.

Our Mehfil honors, responds, and brings voices to the multiplicities of nows that make us today, through free improv. We look forward to welcoming you all!

We thank Cambridge Arts and Massachusetts Local Cultural Council for their support
