Not limited by any one country or genre, these exciting artists bring the world’s music to Carnegie Hall. Ravi Shankar’s musical genius was compared by famed violinist Yehudi Menuhin to that of Mozart; Milton Nascimento—who has collaborated with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Paul Simon—transformed Brazil’s bossa nova into an international favorite. From closer to home comes Sones de México, an ensemble that performs “a dazzling array of Mexican folk-music forms with a preservationist’s care” (Chicago Reader).
