The Folk Arts Center Benefit Bash starts with a concert of original compositions and traditional music in arrangements for classical ensembles, performed by many of the musicians who play for other FAC events throughout the year. The evening’s program also features performances by the young dancers of Mladost and Candyrapper. After the concert, the chairs are put away and an international folk dance party begins, with live music, featuring dances accessible to all. Proceeds from the Benefit Bash help to fund FAC’s programs. Thanks for your support!
