Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
Learn about many fascinating Hindu deities—from stories of Ganesha, the playful elephant-headed God, to the dances to rhythms of drums by Nataraja, a depiction of Shiva as the Lord of Dance—in a stunning performance with beautiful costumes and traditional dance styles from India.
The Celebrate! series, appropriate for family audiences and children ages 5 and up, highlights America’s rich cultural diversity through the arts. This program is tied directly to President and Mrs. Kennedy’s concern for and support of the arts and culture in a democratic society. Thanks to generous support from the Martin Richard Foundation and the Mass Cultural Council all performances are free.
