More Information: Change in 10th Annual Madison World Music Festival Line-up

Almost as soon as we announced this year’s line-up, it has changed. Please note that the performer on Saturday, 9/21/13, 5:30 pm at the Willy Street Fair is Tal National from Niger and not as previously announced.

The Madison World Music Festival is ten years old! We celebrate by returning to a three-day schedule, September 19-21, 2013, in the Memorial Union and at the Willy Street Fair. As in the past nine years, we offer great music from many parts of the world, workshops, and opportunities to dance, all for free. Of special note this year is the large number of women performing and leading bands—of the 11 bands presented, only two are all-male.

Patrons are very welcome to donate online or send donations to: Wisconsin Union Theater / MWMF Fund, c/o Heather Good, 1308 West Dayton Street, Madison, 53706. Individual donations of any size are appreciated and help secure the future of the festival.

A tentative schedule follows. Additional events may be announced at a later date. The schedule is subject to change.
