While we’re still recovering from last weekend’s BRASH festivities (that was one crazy weekend!) we’re looking toward spring and the imminent launch of the 14th Annual Small World Asian Music Series. Celebrating Asian and South Asian Heritage Month, alongside communities around the GTA, the program is supported by TD Bank
We’ll be partnering with the finest presenters across the region, from Koerner Hall to the Aga Khan Museum, Roy Thomson Hall to the Markham Theatre, to showcase the finest sounds on the best stages. The program is highlighted by a a strong female presence, with two of the most significant artists in South Asian music – Anoushka Shankar and Abida Parveen – performing.
New this year, the Small World Explorer program gives audiences access to the entire Asian Music Series through the Small World Ticket Hub. You’ll receive deep discounts, bonus packages and ‘one-stop shopping’, benefiting from our position at the heart of the global music scene.
Also coming up, it’s the second in our ongoing Globetrotter series. The launch event was a great night and we’re looking forward to more dance floor action with one of our favourite DJs, Uproot Andy. The Brooklyn-based spinner is one of the most influential figures in the tropical bass / global groove realm and New York night owls move to his turntables. Limited early bird tickets are only ten bucks!
This weekend at the Small World Centre Lenka Lichtenberg & Fray celebrate the release of ‘Live in America’, their new recording, capturing their infectious live energy and soaring lyrical performances while touring across America last fall. Should be a sweet one.
