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.

Two adventurous musical spirits who delight in the here and now. Over the last few years, percussionist Ian Dogole and master multi-instrumentalist and sound healer René Jenkins have developed a symbiotic chemistry that knows no bounds. Their musical forays are deeply rooted in the ancestral indigenous music cultures of the Americas, Africa and beyond and when combined with their irrepressible spirit of adventure, the result is a sonic feast for the senses and an uplifting, healing experience that is transformational. Be prepared for a thrilling, uplifting and joyous musical journey.

Throckmorton Theatre is committed to fostering community and providing accessible, transforming experiences. 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.
