On Saturday, January 13, 2024, dynamic artists from around the world will perform in Zankel Hall as part of the Musical Explorers Family Concerts, an interactive experience celebrating unique musical cultures and traditions. The performances feature Mele Hawai'i, traditional Hawaiian music, led by Grammy Award winner Kalani Pe'a, Iraqi folk music with violinist and singer Layth Sidiq, and Dominican Roots music with guitarist, composer, and singer Yasser Tejeda. Free pre-concert activities will be offered one hour prior to each performance, preparing parents, caregivers, and children to sing and dance along with the artists.
Earlier in the week, from Tuesday, January 9–Friday, January 12, thousands of schoolchildren in grades K–2 will visit Carnegie Hall to sing and dance in high-energy culminating concerts. New York City public school students have been learning about these same artists throughout the semester as part of the Musical Explorers program, which teaches singing, listening, and basic music skills in the classroom as children study songs from these musical traditions. For more than a decade, Musical Explorers has been taught in New York City classrooms, and this season, the program will reach more than 7,000 students across New York City.
