an international day

We recently attended the Overture's International Festival here in Madison. The acts were wide ranging and there were many, many to chose from, but the shows we saw were a Lithuanian dance troupe, several Chinese performances, and a West African fusion band. I took a few photos, though they don't really capture the enthusiatic vibe of both those on stage and those in the audience. I do hope you enjoy!

a Chinese drum and dance troupe

a Chinese 2 string violin called
the erhu - beautiful sounds!

amazing performance, I believe this instrument
is called the zheng

could there be anything
more adorable?

a West African fusion group

the sax blends with so well with the African beats -
a richness of musical history

beats that made every child in the
audience dance fancy free!
