Virtual Tenement Concert: An Evening of New American Songs with the Bardin-Niskala Duo

Cellist An-lin Bardin and pianist Naomi Niskala invited African, Latinx, Asian, Arab and Native American composers to write pieces that incorporate folksongs and children’s songs of the composer’s cultures.

Join us on November 13th on YouTube Live for a special virtual concert where Bardin and Niskala will perform these classical pieces live in our 19th-century German immigrant lager beer saloon, in which German families gathered to hear the music of their homeland. Each piece will be preceded by a short video of the composer, sharing their story and exploring the notions of homeland, community, and belonging and on the challenges of navigating life in this country as a bi-cultural, multi-cultural, or minority person.
