Cal Performances Residency:
The Nile Project
February 18-20, 2015
In a striking example of Cal Performances’ commitment to providing a rich artistic and cultural experience through an extensive campus residency, The Nile Project at UC Berkeley offers multiple opportunities for dialogue around global issues, providing an impetus for audiences to become involved in real-life change. In a historic first, Nile Basin instrumentalists and vocalists collaborate to use the power of music to raise awareness of the cultural and environmental challenges along the world’s longest river. For one week in Berkeley, Cal Performances and the Nile Project take you on a journey to experience the musical foundations for productive cross-cultural interaction.
