Holi, Phagwa: A celebration of colors, spring, and unity!

Celebrate spring with us!  Join Abha Roy, Srijan Dance Company, Naran Budhakar, Roshni Harripersaud, Ethan Rampersaud and Brandon Mohammed for an afternoon of Indian music, and dance that embraces the colors and joy of spring.

The afternoon begins with a dance workshop led by master teaching artist Abha Roy.  Then enjoy the show, featuring the Indian classical forms of thumri and tarana, intertwined into a single piece in kathak dance style by Srijan Dance Center. The late great Tabla Maestro Zakir Hussein will be remembered by Dr. Narendra Budhakar’s tabla solo and Rajasthani folk dances;  as well as phagwa folk music by Roshni Harripersaud, Ethan Rampersaud and Brandon Mohammed from Guyana.  Delicious food by Queens Curry Kitchen will be available for sale throughout the day.  Holi is celebrated by all, regardless of culture, caste, gender, or religious affiliation.
