This year is the 21st anniversary of GlobalFEST, which will happen across three stages at Lincoln Center’s newly-renovated David Geffen Hall on Sunday, January 14 as part of Lincoln Center Presents.
Co-directors Bill Bragin, Isabel Soffer and Shanta Thake said of this year's edition: "We are thrilled to once again bring artists from all over the world to Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall. The power of music to bring people together during trying times is more important than ever. globalFEST began following the dark days between 9/11 and the start of the Iraq War. Now in its 21st year, as the world faces new conflicts and the horrors of war are all around us, we remain devoted to encouraging cultural awareness through musical discovery."
