It’s timed to coincide with the annual “Association for Performing Arts Presenters Conference,” when thousands of concert presenters are in town to program their upcoming seasons. Promoters tell us, “Drawing on the bounty of sounds, styles, and approaches exploding around the world, globalFEST has opened minds and doors for outstanding international artists.” They continue, “globalFEST was created in the wake of 9/11, a time of xenophobic backlash and tightening visa restrictions, the festival has always kept a finger on the pulse of cross-border musical exchange and has adapted to the changing needs of the field. The festival directors - Bill Bragin of Acidophilus: Live & Active Cultures - and Isabel Soffer of World Music Institute - are joined by Shanta Thake of Joe's Pub at The Public Theater.”
