Capacity: 10 participants only
Please sign up directly with @TheBrooklynNomads

With Mohamad & Hadi Eldebek of the acclaimed Brooklyn Nomads,
a collective of musicians from different cultural and stylistic backgrounds with roots in Middle Eastern and Arabic music traditions: Outward Inward, an immersive sound experience that incorporates Live music, Poetry, and Storytelling, using binaural mics and 3D audio technology. “We heard from our community how the experience helped them unlock memories they thought they’d lost, how they felt deeply rested, how they were able to listen more, breath deeper, and imagine more. We look forward to having you with us!”

Get ready to dance and celebrate with a last hurrah of summer at the closing of this year’s WE ARE NATURE Series! As a coda to the previous day’s multidisciplinary homage to the migration of monarchs from Mexico, NOoSPHERE Arts is pleased to present:

~ A butterfly-inspired opening act by dancer Alexandre Barranco
~ Our very own Hermanos Villalobos, this time with all three brothers united on one stage! Acclaimed as one of today’s leading Contemporary Mexican groups, the original compositions and arrangements of The Villalobos Brothers masterfully fuse and celebrate the richness of Mexican folk music with the intricate harmonies of jazz and classical music.

Better wear your dancing shoes – we wanna see everyone moving along the water! FREE ADMISSION with support from the New York City Artist Corps Program
