A Musical Adventure that Spans the World! Join us for a special afternoon with world percussionist/recording artist Ian Dogole and his rotating cast of world-class collaborators for a journey into a riveting and uplifting multicultural and cross-pollinating musical adventure. From music inspired by the Jazz masters to ragas from the Indian subcontinent to Moroccan traditional music to Andean-inspired sound healing and so much more – each afternoon you can revel in an ever-changing musical landscape. Great for Music Students of All Ages!
This series also provides a great educational opportunity for music students to learn about creative improvised music sourced from all over the world. Grab a glass of wine or non-alcoholic libation and a dessert item at the bar and wend your way into a magical musical vortex that you’ll not find anywhere else in Marin County … and beyond.
Fasten your seat belts! These three internationally acclaimed musicians have a long history of collaboration – performing and recording highly adventurous music that transcends geographic borders and conventional genres. Whether playing their original compositions or fresh reinterpretations of pieces from the Jazz masters, their creativity, fearlessness and unbridled passion will keep you on the edge of your seat.

We believe the arts create and bestow community identity and a strong sense of identity and pride rallies confidence, hope and productivity. This cannot be done, however, without risk, adventure, and the willingness to embrace and understand the new. We embrace that risk every day.
