On January 13, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall will host Musical Explorers Family Concerts. These interactive concerts celebrate diverse musical cultures with dynamic artists from around the world. Grammy winner Kalani Pe’a will lead Mele Hawai’i, Layth Sidiq will present Iraqi folk music, and Yasser Tejeda will present Dominican Roots music.
Before each world music performance, free pre-concert activities will engage families. Throughout the week leading up to the concerts, thousands of New York City schoolchildren will participate in energetic culminating concerts at Carnegie Hall, highlighting what they’ve learned through the Musical Explorers program.
For over a decade, Musical Explorers has enriched New York City classrooms, reaching over 7,000 students this season. The program has expanded nationally with a digital platform, offering teachers free online resources. The artists scheduled for January 2024 bring unique perspectives to the program, reflecting their cultural backgrounds and musical expertise.
Don’t miss this opportunity to join the musical journey at Carnegie Hall on January 13, and stay tuned for additional Musical Explorers concerts in May 2024.
