	Saturday, February 2 at 8 pm KARTIK SESHADRI, sitar ARUP CHATTOPADHYAY, tabla Foremost disciple of the great Ravi Shankar, Seshadri has brought his artistry to Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center and countless major venues. Unfolding other-worldly melodies in the tradition of Indian classical music dating back several thousand years to the chants of Hindu scriptures, this master brings audiences to their feet. "If the power of Indian music seems almost supernatural, then sitar player Kartik Seshadri must be a sorcerer." Oberlin Review. Campus Theatre $21 Mr. Seshadri�s performance is supported, in part, by the California Arts Council, a state agency, the Western States Arts Federatiuon and the National Endowment for the Arts.
	Saturday, February 9 at 8 pm PEKING ACROBATS Direction and Choreography by Hai Ken Tsai This elite, 26-member group of gymnasts, jugglers, cyclists and tumblers has left audiences around the world spellbound by the graceful athleticism of their ancient folk art: acrobatics. The hand-selected performers train in this 2000-year-old tradition from an early age. With live accompaniment from an exotic Chinese orchestra, the Acrobats' flawless execution becomes a kaleidoscope of entertainment and wonder. Marsee Auditorium $26 / $23 (Children 12 and under $12)
	Friday, March 8 at 8 pm NATIONAL SONG AND DANCE COMPANY OF MOZAMBIQUE Los Angeles Debut! The technically fierce men and virtuosic women of this 25-member ensemble embody the rich heritage of this African nation. Formed in 1979, shortly after Mozambique achieved independence from Portugal, the company selects the best performers from each of the country's 10 provinces. The powerful, high-energy show embraces mythic narrative, wedding ceremonies, military victories and young people in love. "Extraordinary" The Washington Post. Marsee Auditorium $26 / $23 (Children 12 and under $12)
	Saturday, April 27 at 8 pm INCA The Peruvian Ensemble Experience the vibrant cultures of Peru: the lost Inca empire, Spanish-influenced villages, the jungles and southern coast suffused with African rhythms. INCA's musicians, playing a vast array of indigenous instruments, and colorfully costumed dancers weave these folk traditions into an exquisite evening. Celebrating its 20th year of touring throughout the American West, INCA produces sounds that "reach your soul" Albuquerque Tribune. Marsee Auditorium $22 / $19 (Children 12 and under $12)
